The Seattle Medium's Rhythm & News Podcast recently featured an insightful interview with Anthony Smith, a student journalist interning during this year's legislative session in Olympia. Smith has been diligently covering pivotal legislative proposals that hold the potential to significantly alter Washington's tax framework, educational policies, and food security measures. Among the notable bills he has been tracking are the contentious "millionaire's tax" and proposed regulations on the use of artificial intelligence in educational settings.
