Kevin Glass (Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity) and Niraj Chokshi (The Washington Post)

On Rational Actors, Kevin talks to Niraj about policy innovation in the states, such as campaigns to raise the minimum wage. Do states take precedence when the federal government is gridlocked?

They discuss marijuana-legalization initiatives being pushed in both red and blue states, and uncover the meaning of meaningless state resolutions. Plus: Are Americans actually picking up and moving to states where laws are more congenial to their views?
