On The Legislature Today, education is once again debated on the Senate floor, but this time the education chair shares concerns over a bill he’s sponsoring.

Testimonies of drug addiction, recovery, jail sentences and second chances were hand delivered to House Speaker Tim Armstead’s office Thursday by constituents advocating for so called “second chance” legislation.

Since then, it has provided a social safety net to Americans, allowing many of them to retire with dignity, according to John Hishta, senior vice president of campaigns with AARP. But many experts say that without some action, social security benefits will have to be reduced by 20% in 2032. News Director Eric Douglas sat down with Hishta to understand the situation.
