KNPB Channel 5 Public Broadcasting for Northern Nevada

By most accounts, the 2009 session of the Nevada Legislature was one of the most challenging in recent memory. Because of term limits, it was also the last regular session for a handful of influential Northern Nevada lawmakers. This edition of A Conversation With, KNPB’s Michael Hagerty talks with a handful of the departing lawmakers to discuss: what the session was like, reaching a compromise on the state’s budget, facing a record number of vetoes from the governor’s office, their political futures, and much more.

Guests include:
• Senator Randolph Townsend (R-Washoe County)
• Senator Mark Amodei, (R-Carson City)
• Assemblywoman Sheila Leslie (D-Reno)
• Assemblyman Bernie Anderson (D-Sparks)
