Legislature Is Back, and So Is the Pod Squad

Podcast host Chad Blair and Civil Beat reporters Anita Hofschneider and Nathan Eagle discuss the biggest issues facing Gov. Ige and the Hawaii Legislature.
By /

With Chad Blair back from a reporting assignment just in time for the opening of the 2015 Legislative session and Gov. Ige’s State of the State address, the Pod Squad looks at what lies ahead.  Joining Blair are reporters Nathan Eagle and Anita Hofschneider who share their thoughts on the biggest issues facing the Legislature.

From medical marijuana dispensaries to budget constraints, new GMO and pesticide laws to requests to extend the rail tax, our crew sees an interesting session ahead.  The trio also discusses Ige’s somnolent State of the State speech and his administration’s tendency to announce appointments on Friday afternoons.
