BUNKER HILL — Another live production from Smoky Hills PBS, "The Kansas Legislature," will kick off at 7 p.m. Friday p.m. and streaming will also be available HERE.

The show airs during the legislative session, which gives the legislators and viewers the opportunity to discuss up-to-date issues.  For each show, legislators from the Smoky Hills PBS viewing area are invited to participate in the live call-in program.

“Smoky Hills PBS is excited to bring another season of The Kansas Legislature to the people of central and western Kansas,” said Les Kinderknecht, Senior Producer/Director of Smoky Hills PBS.  “ 'The Kansas Legislature' is a great way for our viewers to ask their local leaders questions about the latest issues in Kansas and a great opportunity for viewers to hear about the issues being discussed during the legislative session.”

Jay Steinmetz, "The Kansas Legislature" moderator, and two legislators will take part in each show.  Steinmetz is an assistant professor of political science at Fort Hays State University.
