To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the introduction of and historic protests over the legislation that would later become Act 10, the Cap Times is producing a series of stories and podcasts over the next month.

Led by Cap Times’ K-12 education reporter Scott Girard and state politics reporter Briana Reilly, the series will run to mid-March and be available at captimes.com. The podcast discussions will be made available through Jessie Opoien’s Wedge Issues feed on most major podcasting platforms, and at captimes.com.

In this episode, Republican former state Sen. Leah Vukmir — now president of state affairs at the National Taxpayers Union — speaks with Girard and Reilly about her experiences with the bill, and why she thinks it's important for lawmakers to find ways to work across the aisle.
