What Bills Passed This Session? Plus, Why the World Cup Could Mean More Measles
Today on the podcast, Jane is joined by contributor Hannah Krieg and producer Sam to discuss the end of the legislative session. They get into the walk back of last year’s estate tax and why some democrats opposed the millionaires tax. All three share some of the bills they’re excited to see pass, as well as the ones they were sad to see die. Then, it’s been 6 years since the COVID lockdown. They discuss: what have we learned? And how might that apply to the rise in measles cases? And where can Seattleites source free masks?
