Previewing the May Revise

Governor Gavin Newsom is set to release his May revision to the 2025-2026 budget tomorrow and significant changes are expected from the original proposal he released in January. CalMatters Capitol Reporter Alexei Koseff joins us with a preview of what to expect and why California's fiscal picture has taken a turn for the worse.

Sac State Budget Vote

Sacramento State’s $37 million budget deficit is leading to some significant cuts at the university, including class reductions and layoffs. As students vote on a new fee that could help relieve some of the financial strain, Sac State communication studies professor Andrea Terry and English lecturer Carolyn Pickrel join us to discuss what’s at stake for students, educators and the university.

Indigenous Basket Weaving

California’s park system highlights the state’s public jewels. And last year another one was added to the list - Dos Rios, the first new state park in a decade. These spaces also serve as cultural zones for indigenous people and tribes to gather materials and revitalize traditional practices, like basket weaving. Austin Stevenot is the Director of Tribal Engagement for River Partners, a conservation nonprofit that partners with state restoration projects. He joins us to discuss how the intersection of ecosystems and culture led to the creation of the California Indian Basketweavers’ Association (CIBA).
