Every week on So, Does It Matter? I “beam in” with a leader, strategist, or thinker shaping California’s future for a one-on-one conversation you won’t hear anywhere else.
This week, I’m joined by Lance Christensen, Vice President of Government Affairs at the California Policy Center, to unpack what really happened at the close of the legislative session.
We talk about the governor’s end-of-session strategy, the new law on student “affidavits” (AB 495), the dense-housing push around transit (SB 79), and a wave of bills on charter schools, reparations, AI, and guns.
It’s pretty clear that Gavin Newsom is focused on…. Post Gubernatorial ambitions…
Tune in for a lively, no-notes conversation!.
