Pennsylvania votes for a slate-team of Governor and Lt Governor. Christina Valente is trained in law and environmental justice and is interviewed on the economic condition of the Keystone state. In the post-industrial age, when the corporations that looted the region are trying to flee without paying for clean-ups of the hazardous wastes they spilled, citizens are banding together for self-preservation. Third parties and advocacy groups are trying to regain local control of their state.

We discuss the diversity of Pennsylvania and the needs the various regions require to sustain themselves. We also discuss the battles third parties are waging to maintain taxation with representation. Election laws are suiting the corporate criminals and designed to leave the voter in the dark. Her experience in the courts gives her a unique insight to the ways that burdening those courts denies the state the ability to serve the public and further enriches the looters.
