Capitolfax editor and publisher Rich Miller leads of the program followed by a newmaker interview with House Republican Leader Tom Cross about the week's headlines under the Capitol Dome.  Later, an in-depth discussion about the competing pension reform plans with Senator Linda Holmes (D) Aurora, who helped negotiate the Senate's pension bill, Aurora and Rep.
