A founding premise of the show is that political engagement in state and local politics is essential. It is because of this that each year we preview the upcoming state legislative session.

This week we are joined by newly appointed State Senator Yasmin Trudeau. We discussed the upcoming session, legislation she plans to introduce and support, some of the unfinished business around police accountability, some of the ways the state can nudge local governments on policy matters (like zoning), and her thoughts on the governor’s use of his emergency authority.
