The Vanderpump Rules of Legislatures: Nebraska

AP News noted that this year’s legislative sesh in Nebraska was most akin to reality TV. And, when you think about the current landscape for reality tv – Vanderpump Rules we’re looking at you – that’s a pretty curiosity piquing statement.

It’s that POV and approach that we needed to know more about – and that approach involved Nebraska State Senator Megan Hunt. Cue this episode on how it all went down and what this fight for human rights shone a light on:
