What's the future of public electricity in California?

What's the future of public electricity in California? On the next Your Call, we'll have a debate about Proposition 16 on the June 8th ballot. The PG&E-backed Proposition 16 would significantly raise the bar for cities and counties that want to get into the power business. What's the current state of public power in California? What are the existing democratic checks on the way public power operates? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What would municipal power offer that private companies don't? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Stephanie Chen, legal counsel for the Greenlining Institute
Robin Swanson, principal of Swanson Communications
