Customer Reviews
Informative
This show has interviews of people who work in or with California state government in Sacramento. As someone who lives in California but not in Sacramento I find this very informative and interesting. The interviewees can be members of the Assembly or state Senate, either Republican or Democrat, or lobbyists, or political consultants. It’s interesting to hear their personal stories and to hear how they approach the issues.
