A series of political experts descended upon the University of Illinois Springfield to discuss a wide variety of political issues.
The 10th annual State Politics and Policy Conference's theme this year was "Political Scientists Meet Political Practitioners in the States. How can we help?"
ABC News Channel 20's Andrew Hansen went to the conference and talked to experts about legislative behavior and state spending.
