A teen sex solicitation bill that has sparked criticism from Republicans and divides among Democrats. Also, a conversation with the organization Decarcerate Sacramento. Finally, Music in the Mountains at the Mondavi Center.
Teen Sex Solicitation Bill
A bill introduced in the state legislature by Sacramento Democratic Assembly member Maggy Krell aims to increase penalties for loitering to solicit minors for sex. But a provision specifically aimed at soliciting 16- and 17-year olds has divided state Democrats, and given Republicans a political opportunity to criticize their opponents. CapRadio Politics Reporter Laura Fitzgerald joins Insight to break down the controversy surrounding AB 379.
Decarcerate Sacramento
Sacramento County’s jail system has been under scrutiny for years, especially after a federal consent decree mandated improvements to conditions inside. One community coalition, Decarcerate Sacramento, has been pushing back against jail expansion and advocating for alternatives that focus on care, not incarceration. Decarcerate Sacramento Advocacy Director Liz Blum-Gutierrez and organizer Kari Hamilton join us to discuss their work, the county’s obligations under the Mays Consent Decree, and public safety.
Music in the Mountains
Conductor Ryan Murray talks about Music in the Mountains' upcoming Mother's Day concert at the Mondavi Center. It will be a significant community collaboration between the Auburn Symphony, Sac State choirs and the Music in the Mountains chorus for a production of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2 Resurrection.
