Stovetop Politics with Virginia Kruta

This week we have two local guests joining the show. 

First, Missouri State Representative Ron Hicks will be calling in to discuss the Right to Work legislation that is currently embattled in the Missouri legislature. Rep Hicks owns several franchises in Missouri and Illinois, so we will also be talking about the proposed minimum wage hike in Illinois - $10.65 was the number that came out of committee last week. I may also pick his brain regarding the President's unilateral decision to phase out the Tomahawk and Hellfire missiles.

Second, in light of the recent outbreaks of supposedly eradicated diseases such as measles and whooping cough, we will talk to pharmacist Adam Bohn (@BadtotheBohn) about the celebrity trend regarding refusal to vaccinate and how that plays into those outbreaks.

If we get the chance, we may also to conspiracy theories with @JenEnnenbach - and hopefully something will happen between now and then that we can blame on George W. Bush. I heard the earthquakes that rolled through LA this weekend were his idea.
