We’ll hear how state legislators connect across party lines to get things done, sometimes in unlikely ways, and how they build relationships that allow them to work together on common goals. \nSometimes that collaboration starts on a mountain. Our first episode covers a bipartisan group of Nebraska senators who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro together--while one was battling cancer--and built connections that serve them back at the statehouse. We’ll have new stories every month and we hope we can include your experiences with working across the aisle. NCSL’s Kelley Griffin is the host and producer. She has 28 years experience as a reporter and editor in public radio, and she invites you to share your stories of bipartisanship at acrosstheaisle@ncsl.org."}
