October 25, 2017: Hour 1

In hour one of Here & Now's Oct. 25, 2017 full broadcast, we open our broadcast from Kansas City with a look at how tax cuts implemented by Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback in 2012 have impacted the state, and a discussion with two reporters about top stories that are resonating locally. Also, we take a closer look at who might fill Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake's seat, after Flake's announcement Tuesday that he won't seek re-election next year. And one airline industry analyst joins us to discuss how airlines are assisting relief and recovery efforts in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
