We discuss the confirmation hearing of Labor Secretary-designate Julie Su and the energy that both the labor community brought to her defense and the business community, led by the IFA and the NRA, brought to her opposition.

And we visit with longtime industry leader, Stan Harris, President & CEO of the Louisiana Restaurant Association, who shares his insight on the difficult environment facing operators and how the public affairs and lobbying apparatus of the industry should be working to relieve those pressures.

And we discuss a landmark judicial decision that could take all the energy - pun intended - out of the movement to ban natural gas.

We’ll discuss those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
