Curious about what the governors will discuss at this weekend's annual NGA meeting?
"Delaware Gov. Jack Markell (D), vice chairman of the NGA, will join the Fix’s Aaron Blake for a Google+ Hangout on Friday at 1 p.m. to talk about what the governors will try to accomplish this weekend."
Also notable, this is the first gathering since the Supreme Court's ruling on the Affordable Care Act, which resulted in 6 governors opting out of federal funds for Medicaid expansion.
The Google+ Hangout is going on now. You can join in by clicking this link.
