On this week’s edition of Talk Business & Politics:

Nearly two weeks into the new year, what does 2019 have in store in business and politics? Our executive roundtable ponders questions on the economy, the upcoming legislative session, and business interests from energy to taxes.

UA economist Mervin Jebaraj, Entergy Arkansas CEO Laura Landreaux, and Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce CEO Randy Zook are our panelists.

It was a busy week on the politics front: the Coon Supper, federal indictments, a session preview, and the federal shutdown. Columnist Rex Nelson with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette offers up two topics: food and politics.
