Episode Synopsis
Episode Notes
With the legislature on spring break, we're taking the time to look at a few bills at different stages -- one that's been introduced but hasn't been voted on yet, one that had a committee hearing, and one that has already passed the Senate and is on its way to the House. Also today, we tell people how to contact their legislators, and what kinds of things they can expect from that relationship.
