Session 1 — Session 2 — Session 3

Politics, Policy and Data of the ‘Pandemic Session’

Mark Pazniokas, Jenna Carlesso & Kasturi Pananjady
Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2021 (7 p.m.)

The night before the 2021 legislative session convenes, John Dankosky will sit down with Mark Pazniokas (Capitol Bureau Chief), Jenna Carlesso (health reporter) and Kasturi Pananjady (data reporter) to discuss the broad challenges that the General Assembly must confront in the new year.

The three will address a combination of practical questions (“What will this legislative session look like?”) and policy ones (“How is the legislature planning to address the challenges of the pandemic?”) while breaking down the latest data available on the pandemic and its wide-reaching impact. They also will answer questions from viewers about the upcoming session.

This event is free and open to the public.
