Episode 7 - New Year, New Legislature, New Co-Host

How does the Advocacy Team determine what bills to place before the Legislative Policy Committee to determine the municipal position on any Legislative proposal? 

What is more important than a title of a bill?

What is in store for our newest Co-Host and part-time advocate full time Municipal Issues Specialist, Rebecca Lambert? 

Will Potholes & Politics stop  when everyone is too busy at the State House? Or will the episodes become shorter and punchier? How will we stay sane while championing our beloved municipal heroes? 

Find the answer to all of these questions and what horrible things we watch in our "spare time", in this week's episode and get ready for the Legislative Bulletin shift to our podcast. Don't worry, we will be taking deeper dives into municipal stories with our colleagues again after Augusta adjourns. 

This episode features Host Rebecca Graham, Co-Host Rebecca Lambert (Rebecca Squared), Advocacy Air Traffic Controller extraordinaire, Laura Ellis, and Director of Advocacy and Communications, Kate Dufour.
