Digitizing water records, higher ed employees miss out on state bonuses, legislative accessibility and the deadline day delayed.

This week, hosts Joey Lovato and Jacob Solis chat with Indy reporters about how some water records are only on paper and are now being digitized. Then, Jacob goes over the complicated mess of the Nevada System of Higher Education employees being cut out of the first round of state employee retention bonuses. After that, Managing Editor Michelle Rindels joins the conversations to chat about the accessibility (or lack thereof) of legislators to reporters. At the end of the show, reporter Sean Golonka joins Joey and Jacob to go over the deadline day that was not. The legislature was supposed to have a deadline for introducing some bills, but they suspended the rules, and the deadline was skipped.
