State Senator John Gordner (R-27th, Berwick) joined WKOK's On The Mark Monday morning with his reaction to the passing of the state budget, infrastructure, and more.

US Senator Pat Toomey was one of the guests on WKOK's live telephone talkshow 'On The Mark' Monday. He discussed the failed Senate Bill 1 which would have overhauled the nation's election system, the make-up and decisions of the US Supreme Court, the filibuster/legislative impasse in the US Senate, packing the US Supreme Court, the infrastructure compromise, wasteful spending,  recapturing the US House and US Senate, voting 'no' on Pres. Biden's nominees and judges, and a comprehensive look at Jan. 6 riots.

8:32am to 8:50am:John Gordner, State Senator (R-17th, Berwick), on using constitutional amendments to get work done, especially the voter ID proposal, updates on the PA budget, other proposed election law/voting changes and Senator Regan’s goal of repealing a low to which he just pleaded guilty. 9:20am: Pat Toomey, US Senator (R-Pa. US Sen), on the end of Senate Bill 1, the election/voting overhaul, which died this week. We’ll talk about any good elements that could be saved? The so-called compromise infrastructure bill isn’t really a compromise nor a bill… We always ask about any common sense changes in gun laws which would make us safer (which are doable) and his thoughts on the filibuster.
