State lawmakers are expected to make addressing the water pollutant GenX a priority in their upcoming legislative session. Republican Rep.

Host Frank Stasio talks to Doran about the latest on GenX. He also speaks with WUNC Capitol Bureau Chief Jeff Tiberii about other items the state legislature has on its short-term and year-long agendas.
