Tonight on KCTS 9 Connects, Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen and Rep. Dean Takko, who both affiliate with the “Roadkill Caucus” made up of centrist Democrats, will discuss what moderate Democrats hope to achieve during the legislative special session that began Monday.

The stakes are high -- the state faces a $1.4 billion shortfall and faces deep cuts to human services and education -- and the Roadkill Caucus is expected to play the same centrist role that helped shape key decisions during the regular and special legislative sessions last spring.

The program airs at 7 p.m.
