State Del. Neil Parrott (R-Washington County), a freshman state legislator and tea party organizer, positioned himself as a major challenger to the Democratic establishment by organizing the campaign to get three referendum questions on the ballot this November.

We’ll hear Parrott’s take on the referendum process, and on why he thinks those laws should be overturned.
