On this week’s Regional Roundup; WHYY reporter AVI WOLFMAN-ARENT will tell us about the big money coming to Pennsylvania schools as a result of the federal stimulus package, and the proposals for where the money should be spent. Then, we’ll talk with DAVID LUIS “SUAVE” GONZALEZ, aka “Suave,” who received a life sentence in a Pennsylvania facility for a crime he committed when he was 17 years old.
