Happy New Year! A brand new year brings a brand new batch of Talk Back episodes. Here's who we will be talking with this week...

On Monday, we will open the show with some open phones, then at 8:30, Montana State Senator Fred Thomas will explain the state republican's plan for health insurance reform/expansion. The discussion is especially relevant because Monday is the start of the 2015 Montana legislature.

On Tuesday, Law Professor, author, and all-around constitutional scholar Rob Natelson will join us for an in-depth discussion on the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

On Wednesday, we will speak with CPA Walt Kero on all-things taxes. Call in with your thoughts and questions, we will also likely talk about the proposed "resort tax" and gas tax for Missoula.

On Thursday, Bob Seidenschwartz from the Montana World Affairs Council will join us as we speak with a Yazidi woman about the history of her people and their recent plight under the expansion of ISIS.

On Friday, we will close out the week with open phones. Talk to you soon!
