City officials from across California rallied at the State Capitol yesterday calling for increased state funding to address local priorities ranging from affordable housing and homelessness, to implementing Proposition 36.

They join Insight to talk about what their communities need, and the action they hope to see from state officials.

CA’s Commercial Salmon Season Cancelled

California’s salmon are an iconic species which historically thrived in watersheds across the state. But centuries of damage to rivers and spawning areas have led to significant declines in salmon populations. Last week, California officials announced the state’s commercial salmon fishing season would be cancelled for an unprecedented third year in a row as the numbers of fish remain low. CalMatters environmental reporter Alastair Bland talks about why this cancellation was enacted, what it says about the state of salmon populations in California, and the communities and industries that rely on them.

CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state.

In a Nutshell: Double-Edged Sword

What happens when a blessing becomes a curse? Think unlimited sweets. A litter of puppies. Fame. All might seem like a good idea if given the chance, but at what price? “Double-Edged Sword” is the theme of this month’s storytelling showcase, In a Nutshell at The Sofia in Sacramento on April 26. Two of this month’s featured storytellers, Regina Stoops and Marga Gomez, join host Keith Lowell Jensen to preview this month’s show.
