Another key SEPTA deadline passed, and now, according to the region's mass transit operator, due to a budget stalemate in the state legislature, there’s no turning back from dramatic funding cuts. Will reduced service and increased fares go through as planned? We also learn more about the state of contract negotiations between the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers and School District of Philadelphia, and whether a strike could be on the table. Plus, hear about the inspiring ripple effects the Netflix smash hit summer movie “KPop Demon Hunters” is having on local Korean-Americans, the role a salvage company is playing in reconnecting former University of the Arts students with their works, and a decades-old cold case from Virginia that was recently connected to a missing child in Philly.
