A Message from Larry Ceisler
With all the rapid developments in the political world, we’re moving swiftly on our February Newsletter to have our experts comment on the major events currently unfolding.
I’ve got opinions on the Iowa Caucus – which you can view in the above video and read in a longer Q&A. The chaos that unfolded will certainly have an effect on the Presidential race.
Our COO, Kate Wilhelm, weighs in on President Trump’s State of the Union Address. And Managing Director Kurt Knaus breaks down the politics and impact of Gov. Wolf’s newly proposed PA budget plan.
There are topical blogs on new plans to curtail Philadelphia violence (by Director Brian Dries), the misguided push for reparations (by Special Projects Manager Larry Miller), and the political nature of Super Bowl Ads (by Senior Associate Drew Murren).
You’ll find other items, about our team and our clients. Please give it a read and let me know your thoughts.
