Rep. Grier Martin announced last week he was resigning his legislative seat in July to take a job at the Pentagon.  The Raleigh Democrat, who is a Afghanistan War veteran, talks about his life, reflects on his service in the General Assembly since 2005, and makes a bold announcement about his future in North Carolina politics.  

Skye and Brian also talk about another busy week at the General Assembly, including the latest on the budget, a fun idea on future lobby days, seersucker suit season, and lessons learned from a 'gut and replace' legislative maneuver.
