How Trump’s Air Quality Policies Will Impact California | Susan Shelley

California’s Air Resources Board (CARB) has set the state’s emissions standards, often going beyond federal requirements. But with Trump back in office, could California lose its ability to set independent climate policies? Susan Shelley, member of the editorial board of the Southern California News Group, joins us to examine how a potential rollback of California’s regulatory authority could affect industries, energy prices, and the state’s climate goals. With ongoing debates over emissions regulations, federal waivers, and cost-of-living concerns, what changes might be ahead for California? We explore the legal and economic stakes as federal and state policies collide.

California Homeowners Are Losing Their Insurance—Here’s Why

“A lot of people think that insurance carriers are just multi-billion-dollar companies living the good life. That’s not always the case. In the last three to five years, we’ve been losing so much money that we just can’t do this anymore,” says Harry Crusberg, a fire marshal and former president of American Agents Alliance. Home insurance rates are skyrocketing in California because of fire risks. Join us as we dive into California’s ongoing insurance crisis. We'll explore why insurance companies are dropping policies, leaving homeowners with no options but the costly FAIR Plan, or going without insurance entirely. “Our first year of fire insurance was $7,000. By the third year, it went up to $12,000, which we could no longer afford. We never imagined putting ourselves in a position where we would own a house without insurance,” says Michael Daneau, a homeowner who lost his second home to fires in six years. We also speak with state leaders about what they are doing about it. “The Legislature is taking this issue very, very seriously. ... The cancellation of these insurance policies isn’t just happening to people in high fire-threat areas. For heaven’s sake, I had my own insurance policy canceled,” says Senator Dave Cortese, who’s working on a partial property coverage by insurers to expand options for consumers. *Views expressed in this video/article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of California Insider.

Why Californians Are Losing Their Home Insurance | Rex Frazier

“Too many people are going to the FAIR Plan. Nobody should want to be in the FAIR Plan; it’s meant to be a temporary market of last resort. It’s an unvirtuous cycle. Under the law, any deficiency that the FAIR Plan has, and the amount of money it has to pay claims, it just turns around to the admitted insurance companies. That has huge cascading impacts on the entire insurance industry.” Siyamak sits down with Rex Frazier, president of the Personal Insurance Federation of California and former deputy Insurance Commissioner of California. Some Californians are losing their insurance coverage, and key insurance companies are avoiding writing more insurance in California. Rex is here to tell us what’s happening behind the scenes, why we are here, and if there is a way out. “California has by far the most complicated rate formula in the US. We have these extreme problems because of the rules that we put in place in the early 1990s. We haven’t updated them. Every other state has updated them. The tough part now is that we’re just waiting on the regulations to change.” *Views expressed in this video/article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of California Insider.

Why California Spent Billions and Still Can’t Fix Rising Crime | Douglas Eckenrod

“They’re hurting outcomes at nearly the rate that good program providers are delivering good outcomes. And all you’d have to do is just get rid of this part of the equation, and you would see some improvement over time.” Siyamak sits down with Douglas Eckenrod, retired deputy director of state parole. In California, we put a big emphasis on rehabilitation for inmates. But has this become an industry that’s more focused on making money than helping the inmates rebuild their lives?

Former San Francisco Budget Analyst Explains Ways to Improve the City’s Finance | John Farrell

“Will San Francisco come back? When you look at it with the 30% vacancy, you look at the foreclosures or the defaults on a lot of the loans. You look at all this and you say to yourself, ‘What can we do?” says Mr. Farrell. Siyamak sits down with John Farrell, a former budget analyst, assistant assessor, and financial director with extensive experience in San Francisco’s municipal finances. John will provide insights into the city’s current budget deficit and propose solutions for improving its financial health.

California Reparations Moves Forward. What’s Next? | Tony Hall

“I’ve never seen a more insidious, inane, exploitive, and cruel plan put forth to the American public. You’re asking non-slave owners to pay people who were never slaves $5 million per black guy in San Francisco. The average household is going to have to pay $600,000.” Siyamak sits down with Tony Hall, a former supervisor with San Francisco County. Today he’ll explain what California and San Francisco’s reparations plans entail, and why he thinks it’s not likely to happen.

Is California Still Leading the Nation? | Larry Elder

“In the last three years, we’ve had a net outflow of 1 million people. I don’t want to leave; I want to help turn the state around because I think sooner or later the voters are going to wake up, and I want to be here when that happens.” Siyamak sits down with Larry Elder, a radio and TV host, former gubernatorial candidate in California, former presidential candidate, and best-selling author. He shares his perspective on the major problems facing California, such as high taxes, budget deficits, low-performing public schools, rising crime, homelessness, and the high cost of living, as well as his experiences with the cultural changes in California politics.
