This week, see Mike like you have never seen him before.  In one take, he introduces you to his staff, talks to you about the subcommittee on education and the devastating budget cuts, asks for your help with our "Apple a Day to Keep Education Budget Cuts at Bay" petition drive, shares with you the newly released census data and how it will impact redistricting, and takes your questions.

0:00 - Staff Introductions

0:55 - Subcommittee on Education

2:00 - Petition Drive

2:30 - Redistricting

3:50 - Questions (lottery, rising college tuition costs, budget hole)
