Tax Commission - Search for Stability

In an effort to stabilize California's tax revenues, early this year Governor Schwarzenegger appointed the Commission on the 21st Century Economy, with a mission to come up with ideas to streamline revenue collection and cut down on the volatility of tax collection that rocks the budget boat. Not an easy task, as politicians and vested interests add their arguments to the fray. As the report deadline approaches, we check in with the players.

McGovern to Speak at Nixon Library

Political history unfolds in the Southland this week. Tomorrow [Weds] night, the Nixon Library will host former Nixon rival, George McGovern.

The former congressman, Senator and presidential nominee joins Patt in advance of the Nixon library event.
