Saving California, PRI's new book, is focused on policy changes that could help restore some of California's lost luster - regardless of what politician runs our massive state government apparatus. The authors are all current or former Californians, people with deep expertise in their respective policy areas. Although their chapters include a fair share of criticism of current policy directions - how could they not? - they each propose real-world policy changes that could push the state onto a better track.

Lance Izumi Quoted in New York Post on Education, Newsom Recall
