When the legislative session ended at 6 p.m. on Friday, a historic amount of pro-jobs legislation had been successfully passed — some at the very last minute. Matt, Ross and Kara recap the excitement and share the wins they secured for employers.

Before the clock strikes 6pm this Friday, the legislature has a lot on the table that could still make it to the governor's desk. Which business priorities still have a chance of crossing the finish line? Matt, Kara and Ross discuss and give an info-packed overview of the last week of the session.

With three weeks left til the end of session,  the legislature is in crunch time. The team gives updates on the state of education reform, transportation investment, Wayfair implementation,  workforce development, the vaccine rollout and other business issues.
