Tulsa, OK – At 7pm tonight (Monday the 23rd), in the Allen Chapman Activity Center on the TU campus, Public Radio Tulsa and StateImpact Oklahoma will present a "Legislative Roadshow" --- that is, a sort of Q&A-meets-Town Hall Meeting event in which two reporters will converse with two politicans as well as a pundit in order to preview the soon-to-begin 2012 session of the Oklahoma State Legislature. Our guests are those two reporters, StateImpact's broadcast reporter, Logan Layden, and its digital reporter, Joe Wertz. They'll be joined at tonight's event by State Representative Earl Sears (R-Bartlesville), State Senator Tom Adelson (D-Tulsa), and policy analyst David Blatt of the Oklahoma Policy Institute. The free-to-the-public event promises to offer a community-centric conversation about the fiscal challenges that await Oklahoma lawmakers as they prepare to return to the Capitol to craft a spending plan for our state for the upcoming fiscal year. Layden and Wertz will also discuss (as they do on today's StudioTulsa) specifics of the StateImpact content partnership between public radio stations KWGS, KGOU, KOSU, and KCCU, and the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority as well as NPR.
