pennsylvania public school teachers are some of the lowest paid workers in the state. randy gyllenhaal is digging deeper into what the report means for our schools. he joins us in the studio. this is troubling. >> reporter: this report finds a gap in pennsylvania between what public school teachers are paid and what they could be making if they left teaching and did something else. the report warns it's causing good teachers to the economic policy rutgers professor did the study and found they make 12% less every week compared to jobs with similar education and skills. fewer college students in the commonwealth are graduating from teacher training programs leading to a brain drain with teachers staying for maybe just a few years before leaving the profession entirely to make more money. >> on average, we're looking at weekly wages about 12% less. the philadelphia situation is that much more dramatic in terms of trying to attract qualified teachers that will say in the system, that grow and mature as teache teachers. otherwise we'll see more turnover. >> reporter: compared to teacher pay in other states, pennsylvania does okay, ranking in the topetudy notes t

us. this is a big problem in pennsylvania. it is an epidemic. i liked your looking at this for what it really is. part of it is to the issue of the stigma is that we are not looking at it as a medical issue that it really is. one of the things that has worked in pennsylvania in a bipartisan way is to limit descriptions. work with medical societies, medical schools, to reduce the prescription of opioids to people. that really, and short order, helps reduce the amount of opioids. people who die from joint overdoses, and there are thousands in pennsylvania every year, in 80% of them the gateway drug is a prescription drug. if we get the medical profession to work with us, we can make progress in reducing the ingestion of opioids. >> governor, i know you are trying to get at the duration of the prescriptions that can be written for pain. you want to talk little bit about your experience in arizona? >> sure. that is really began. this is a real issue in arizona as well. we have lost more than 800 people to opioid abuse in the last 18 months. had over

in november? joining us now to explain is senior correspondent eric shawn. >> well, the new pennsylvania redistrictingrepublicans charge puts the fix in for the democrats. the democrats say the new lines only even the playing field and they reject what they call a republican slant. the state supreme court ruled 4-3 that the gop drawn map violated the state's constitution. it was aimed at achieving unfair partisan gain. well, the new maps cut the number of districts won by president trump from 12 to 10. it boosts the districts won by hillary clinton from 6 to 8. one glaring example that critics are talking about is this map. it's the state's seventh congressional district in the philadelphia suburbs. guess what it looks like? it's nicknamed goofy kicking donald duck. it is held by a republican congressman. the decision has thrown the state's election process into chaos because candidates have only one week to go to file their paperwork. but election expert michael lee of the brennan center for justice say the process is more even with the new redrawn districts. >> it is a huge deal both politically and
