Funding the state's school budget

CHESTER, Pa. (WPVI) -- A Pennsylvania state senate candidate is joining the mayor of Chester's call for more funding for public schools.

Marty Molloy says the state's schools are perpetually underfunded.

He says the recently passed budget can't erase decades of neglect.

Molloy is running for the state senate in the 9th district, which is made up of a large part of Delaware and Chester counties.
