One might assume the conservative John Locke Foundation gets everything it asks for from a Republican General Assembly.  Well, the think-tank gets a lot, but the organization has differences over big legislative issues, including Medicaid expansion.  

JLF President/Chief Strategy Officer Donald Bryson talks with Skye and Brian about Locke's approach to the General Assembly, his life and career, and how JLF prepares for the 2023 General Assembly session.  

Skye has a few questions for Brian about the opening ceremonial session on January 11, including the tumultuous 2003 session that required days of roll call votes and back-room deals to produce Co-Speakers of the House.
