On this week's conversation Paul and Wally discuss the 2023 session and its conclusion. Most notably, they address the massive tax "omnibus" package that wound up passing. It did not include needed reforms, but there were numerous components to the bill. 

They also consider the situation with regard to medical providers. Previously it had appeared that no action would be taken on medical malpractice, but that changed quickly in the final days of the session.  

Finally, Wally and Paul offer a broader perspective on the session. With "progressives" firmly in control, did they have an organizing principle or a strategy? How about the minority Republicans? How should they message what happened and didn't happen?
