So join Emily, me, Rick Velotta of the Las Vegas Sun and Howard Stutz of the Review-Journal as we talk about Brian Sandoval‘s now-controversial interview on Univision, the U.S. Senate voting to allow John Ensign‘s staffers to testify to the Justice Department, Nevada losing out on Race to the Top Education grant funds and a whole lot more.

The show airs at 7:30 p.m. tonight on VegasPBS Channel 10, repeats at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and noon Sunday. Check it out on TV, or online, at the Nevada Week in Review podcast.
