'FROM THE CAPITAL'

State Representative Dan Wolgamott District 14-B, joins me each week 'From The Capital' to help us learn about the interesting things that happen at the Capital, and this week, Dan informed me it's what they call 'Hell Week.'  Actually 'Hell Week' started last week and continues through next week. Our Representatives are now working on passing the bills they've been working on, and they have long hours, going to around midnight.

Dan explains how the process works and you can listen in by clicking on the player below.
