Senator Tobin and Mike Mason have a lively conversation with a team of representatives from the Alaska Public Interest Research Group (AKPIRG). The organization was formed in 1974 to protect consumers from businesses taking advantage of them in the name of profit.

Today’s guests include:

* Indra Arriaga (Executive Director of AKPIRG)

* Claire Estelle Lubke (Economic Justice Lead at AKPIRG)

* June Okada (Infrastructure Funding Analyst at AKPIRG)

The music for this episode is the song “Broadway Blues” by the late Laco Pastorius.

The person chosen by Indra Arriaga to sit next to Senator Tobin in the Alaska Legislature was the comedian Groucho Marx. The clip below is from “A Night at the Opera.”
