This week, Intern Jannelle Calderón speaks with laid-off hospitality workers who are pushing for a controversial bill that would guarantee them the right to return to their old jobs as the state reopens. Then, Intern Sean Golonka talks with Host Joey Lovato about how inmate families are reacting as prisons reopen to family visits for the first time in more than a year. At the end of the show, Reporter and Producer Jacob Solis talks with Assistant Editor Michelle Rindels and Reporter Riley Snyder about what’s going on as we come into the final stretch of the legislative session.
