How California lawmakers are trying to fix insurance market problems. Also, the region’s only cat lounge opens to the public in Davis. Finally, a free paint-and-skate day in Sutter’s Landing Regional Park in Sacramento this weekend.

CA Lawmakers Address Insurance Crisis

The devastating wildfires across the Los Angeles area have put additional pressure on California’s already-strained insurance market, as well as the FAIR Plan - the “provider of last resort.” CalMatters Economy Reporter Levi Sumagaysay joins Insight to talk about actions lawmakers are taking to try to fix insurance market problems. 

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

New Cat Lounge in Davis

Roughly one in three Americans have a cat at home. But they’re kind of misunderstood in the veterinary world - especially compared to their canine peers. The Insight team hit the road and visited Cat Tales in Davis, which is a health center created solely for felines. They also opened Tabby Tea Cat Lounge and Adoption Center, where the public can make a reservation to hang with shelter cats. Chris "Shac" Shacoski is a veterinarian who opened Cat Tales with his wife Julie Cole, who serves as the medical director. He explains why specialized care for felines is needed. 

Sacramento ‘Paint-and-Skate’ Day

Calling all muralists and skateboarders. There is a free event happening in downtown Sacramento this weekend to beautify one of the city’s public spaces. ORLUarts Muralist Liv Losee-Unger and City of Sacramento Art in Public Places Manager Donald Gensler discuss the free paint-and-skate day at the Skate Park in Sutter’s Landing Regional Park on Sat. March 15 from 1 to 4pm.
