Can the California GOP Survive the California...

Which Way, L.A.? ·

2010/10/26

Three years ago, Governor Schwarzenegger told the state Republican Party, "We're dying at the box office." Since then, registration in California is down to 31 percent. Republican Party leaders are now bashing not just the unpopular Governor but some of their own candidates on next week's ballot. Also, California's not so bad for business after all. On our rebroadcast of To the Point, will Prop 19 shake up the rest of the country?

Props 20 and 27: Who's Behind the Political Battle...

Which Way, L.A.? ·

2010/10/21

Propositions 20 and 27 are a recipe for confusion, two measures with different answers to the same question: should an independent panel draw the lines for legislative and congressional districts, or should it be the politicians themselves? Voters can decide to expand what they did two years ago or reverse themselves, with important consequences for the distribution of political power. Also, community colleges and California's economic future. A study of failure shows the key to

2010/10/19

President Obama's healthcare reform could make a big difference for the state Insurance Commissioner elected in California next month.

Propositions 21 and 22 and Ballot-Box Budgeting

Which Way, L.A.? ·

2010/10/15

California's 278 state parks have been designated "endangered places." Will Prop 21 save the state's so-called "crown jewels" or is it a cynical ploy to restore the "car tax?" Prop 22 prevents the Governor and legislature from seizing money earmarked for cities and counties and spending it on state services. We hear the pros and cons of both measures, as well as why measures like these ever get on the ballot. On our rebroadcast of To the Point, home foreclosures and economic

Prop 23: Global Warming and the Race for Governor

We hear about the measure and what Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman said last night about greenhouse gases and the green economy. Also, the end of criminal charges in Italy against a former curator of the Getty Museum. On our rebroadcast of To the Point, will the saga of trapped miners

After 40 years, KCET is abandoning leadership of public television in Southern California, cutting ties with the Public Broadcasting System. Sesame Street, Nova, Masterpiece Theater and The NewsHour might — or might not -- be available some place else. Also, the ongoing state budget crisis and two ballot propositions that could make it better -- or not.

Seniority Rules and Equal Rights in LA's Public Schools

Which Way, L.A.? ·

2010/10/08

State law requires that, when teachers are laid off in order to cut costs, the last hired must be the first fired. But LA's elected school board has reached an agreement to modify that on the grounds that the seniority rule deprives students in high-poverty areas of their constitutional rights. Will a judge sign the deal? Will the teachers union go along? What happens to schools that are not in deprived neighborhoods? We hear from the school board, the union and the ACLU. On our

Starting last Thursday, some 50,000 homeowners filled a cavernous space in the LA Convention Center 24/7 for the past six days in hopes of getting help negotiating with lenders.

2010/10/05

Saturday's Spanish-language television debate in Fresno turned into a rumble about Meg Whitman's undocumented housekeeper and Jerry Brown's support from public-employee unions. We hear excerpts that illustrate what the campaign for Governor sounds like apart from TV commercials.

When the LA Times revealed that officials in Bell were paid from $100,000 to $800,000 a year, the news went nationwide. What about other public officers in Southern California? Are their salaries and benefits public knowledge? Why is LA County keeping some of its payroll secret? Are there genuine concerns about privacy and personal safety? Also, another debate between Boxer and Fiorina, and the McCourt divorce trial winds down. On our rebroadcast of To the Point, cyber security

"Nine Months on the Job" is the title of a paper drawn up by aides to Austin Beutner, who's been First Deputy Mayor since Antonio Villraigosa appointed him in January of this year. It says he's built a team that's changing the "culture" of city government, making Los Angeles business friendly and creating jobs. We ask Beutner what he thinks are his most important achievements.
