Hosts Bob Zaltsberg and Sara Wittmeyer will be joined by members of the Indiana Legislature. The panel will discuss what we can expect to see during the short session. The 2014-2015 ISTEP+ grades were significantly lower than usual, and the legislature is seeing expedited treatment of education bills.

Other items on the agenda include LGBT rights, infrastructure funding, pseudoephedrine regulation, and Indiana's teacher shortage.

Help us kick off the 2016 legislative season on Noon Edition.

Our guests:

•Rep. Dan Forestal, (D), District 100

•Rep. Matt Lehman, (R), Majority Floor Leader

•Prof. Marjorie Hershey, Department of Political Science, Indiana University

Noon Edition airs Friday at 12 p.m.
