John Laird plus SC City Council Recall Petition

00:00 /

Our guest on Talk of the Bay is John Laird, former Natural Resources Secretary under Governor Jerry Brown, former Assemblymember for the then 27th district including Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, plus former Mayor of Santa Cruz. Now he’s running for the senate seat to be vacated by termed-out state Senator Bill Monning. We spoke about the issues facing the state, his ideas for solutions, and some stories of working under Brown.

Then we hear from Santa Cruz Local and a report about an attempted recall petition against two Santa Cruz City Councilmembers, one of whom is African-American, Drew Glover.
