Scuffles at the Statehouse

Today, we get the latest on what's happening at the Statehouse!  All year, the focus has been on the House, but now it’s the Senate’s turn in the spotlight. Recently its been considering hundreds of bills passed by the House earlier this year, and Senators have cast a skeptical eye on many of them, from proposals to do away with gun permits, to restricting abortion, even bills related to fiscal matters.  We’ll find out what’s changed hands, and how Statehouse politics may affect the elections this fall.  

Guests:

Kevin Landrigan -Statehouse reporter for the Telegraph of Nashua and a lead writer for the "The Lobby" website.

Norma Love - Statehouse Reporter for the Associate Press.

AnnMarie Timmons  - Reporter for the Concord Monitor.
