Introducing Statehouse Blend Kansas 2020

Kansas News Service

In this episode of Statehouse Blend Kansas, host Jim McLean looks at the legislative session. Lawmakers are already at odds on the hot-button issues of abortion and Medicaid expansion. Republican leaders are pushing for quick passage of an anti-abortion amendment to the Kansas Constitution. Meanwhile, Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly and Republican Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning are joining forces to break a nearly decade-long stalemate on expansion.

Statehouse Blend Kansas is a production of the Kansas News Service, a collaboration of KCUR, Kansas Public Radio, KMUW, and High Plains Public Radio. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts and leave a review.

The theme song, also known as "Warm Evening" by Nameless Dancers, was found in Free Music Archive
