This week’s “Talk Politics” roundtable is online now. You can watch the video below.

This week, Talk Business & Politics Editor-in-Chief Roby Brock, KATV’s lead capitol reporter Janelle Lilley, Clinton School dean Skip Rutherford, and Capitol Advisors Group John Burris were our roundtable guests.

The big news broke in the middle of our roundtable discussion when the State Board of Education voted 5-4 to casino take over the Little Rock School District. Rutherford, a former Little Rock School Board member, offered instant analysis.

Other topics on the agenda: guns on college campuses, capital gains tax cuts, and the Robert E. Lee-Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday controversy.

Our online roundtable, done in partnership with KATV and Talk Business & Politics, hopes to become part of your regular Wednesday afternoon political fix. The format invites each guest to bring a question to the table for the other panelists to offer opinion and commentary on.

“Talk Politics” can be viewed online on Wednesday afternoons on KATV.com and TalkBusiness.net.
