The future of criminal records

1 big thing - A podcast by Axios

One in three Americans has a criminal record that will show up during routine background checks whether it's for a job or to rent a house. Now, states across the country are tackling this issue by making it easier to erase or expunge those crimes from their record. Michigan is the first state that will soon enact the country's most expansive expungement law. Plus, Washington takes on Gamestop. And, America’s new can't-do attitude. Guests: Axios' Jennifer Kingson, Dan Primack and Mike Allen Credits: "Axios Today" is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries.
