What's happening in the Missouri General Assembly? State Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo (D-Independence) joins us to break down what lawmakers are up to in 2022 and how it could affect your life.

Kansas and Missouri lawmakers have a lot to consider during the 2022 legislative sessions. Both states are voting on budgets, congressional redistricting maps, police reform and how to best deal with the seemingly never-ending pandemic.

Missouri Senate Democratic Leader John Rizzo speaks to KCUR's Brian Ellison about Republican Gov. Mike Parson's spending proposal and the state's plans to address violent crime.
