Episode 12: The Intricacies of the Senate
<p>The Senate is a mind-boggling institution. It has countless rules, moves at a snail's pace, and what in the world is a Parliamentarian? To help orient us is Laura Dove, the Secretary for the Majority under Mitch McConnell from 2013 to 2020. Her knowledge of the Senate is extensive, as she has worked on the floor for thirty years. Join us in determining whether the Senate is a "cooling saucer," as George Washington referred to it, or a broken institution. </p>

Episode 10: State Environmental Policy
<p>How do advocacy groups work within government? Are they effective? What are the key policies that we need to enact to solve climate change?

As president of the New York League of Conservation Voters, Tighe has helped the state enact numerous climate legislation, including the $3 Billion Restore Mother Nature Bond Act, the Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth & Community Benefit Act, and the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act – the nation’s most progressive climate law. Previously, she served as the Chief of Staff of New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation where she was a primary negotiator for the Clean Water Infrastructure Act, three successful Constitutional Amendments, and one of the most comprehensive electronics recycling laws in the country. Join the conversation to discover the heart of civics and climate change. <br/><br/>Connect with Julie Tighe and the NYLCV on social media: </p><ul><li>@julietighe17 </li><li>@nylcv</li></ul><p>Connect with us @uchi_intheloop </p>
