Race for Lieutenant Governor

It might not be the most anticipated contest in this election cycle, but it is an important one none the less. California’s contest for the Lieutenant Governor comes down to two men who have high political aspirations and using this position both as a stepping stone to greener pastures and as a platform for their policies to improve the state of our state. The incumbent, Abel Maldonado, was a long time State Senator and member of the Assembly before going through a controversial appointment to office. His opponent San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome joined the Lieutenant Governor’s race after his bid for Governor of California fell short. Both believe they can add a crucial piece to California’s revival, but only one can get the job. We have them both in-studio to get the answers that will help you decide your vote.

 

Guest:

Abel Maldanado, Lt. Governor of California; Republican candidate for Lt. Governor

• Maldonado was a State Senator from San Luis Obispo until he was appointed Lt. Governor by Gov. Schwarzenegger to replace John Garamendi.

The Murder Room

Everyone’s heard of the literary detective extraordinaire Sherlock Holmes, but perhaps fewer have heard of the real life French detective, Eugene Francois Vidocq, who inspired Holmes’ character. Even fewer have heard of the Vidocq Society, a group of 82 of the world’s greatest detectives and investigators, which meets monthly to solve cold cases. Sounds like the plot to a new Hollywood thriller, right? Well it’s not – it really happens. In his new book, The Murder Room: The Heirs of Sherlock Holmes Gather to Solve the World’s Most Perplexing Cold Cases, journalist and author Michael Capuzzo highlights some of the Vidocq Society’s most famous cases while introducing readers to its founding members. Capuzzo turns up the heat on these cold cases and shares his stories with Patt.  

 

Guests:

Michael Capuzzo, the author of “The Murder Room” and ‘Close to Shore.’ He was a reporter for the Miami Herald and the Philadelphia Inquirer, where he wrote crime and police stories, among other things.
