The Center Square Daily | 5.4.26 | Supreme Court Denies a Gun Related Case

Primary elections heat up, redistricting battles grow, and school taxes spark backlash. On today's episode of The Center Square Daily, Greg Bishop begins with primary election day in key states, as voters in Indiana and Ohio head to the polls amid competitive congressional and gubernatorial races. We also look at the broader political implications of redistricting battles nationwide, including fallout from a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down Louisiana’s congressional map. Lawmakers across multiple states are now scrambling to redraw district lines, raising ongoing questions about representation, fairness, and political strategy ahead of the 2026 elections. Next, we take a closer look at a Pennsylvania school district facing scrutiny after a major taxpayer-funded settlement. Despite returning $27 million to residents over hidden budget reserves, the district is now pursuing significant property tax increases while maintaining high administrative salaries. The Center Square’s investigative team breaks down what this means for taxpayers and whether similar trends are playing out nationwide.
