We do a deep dive into next month’s general election and discuss not only the top of the ticket, but of importance to operators, what is happening at the state and local level that may impact their bottom lines.

And Jeff Hanscom, Vice President of State & Local Government Relations & Public Policy for the International Franchise Association, stops by the pod to talk about a big win in California and the collective efforts of both franchisors and franchisees working together on what could be a model going forward.

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