Episode Synopsis "State Legislatures - Part 3"

This is Part 3 of a three-part episode in my series on State and Local Government, on "States Legislatures".  Students in my POLS 1130 can use the lecture notes provided as the transcript for this podcast.  This part covers the issues of "Professional" v "Citizen" Legislatures, and a concept called "Polarization".  The main musical theme, "Inmenso" is by <a href="https://pixabay.com/users/charles_michel-8859896/"> Charles Michel</a>  from  <a href="https://pixabay.com/music/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=music&amp;utm_content=1771">Pixabay</a>.
