Capitol Report with Rep. Matt Manweller

February 3, 2016

Rep. Matt Manweller, R-Ellensburg, talked with Capitol Report about his concerns related to free speech on college campuses in Washington.  Manweller has proposed legislation concerning an Academic Bill of Rights, which he believes will aid all students, regardless of their views, when it comes to free speech.  He indicated that a recent public hearing was packed with students concerned that the conservative voice is being squelched at local colleges.

Manweller also discussed the broadening support at the capitol for his rail caucus, and touched on a bill related to non-compete clauses.
