Welcome to How to Kill a Bill, the podcast where bad bills go to die. On this podcast, we talk about lobbying, politics, and all the shenanigans that take place in state capitols across the country and in Washington, DC. We peel back the layers to show you how lobbying works, what really goes on behind-the-scenes, and how you can use some of these same methods to get involved--and make a difference--on issues you care about, from your local city council, to your school board, to state and federal lobbying.
