California Legislature Begins Major Reform Effort

(Sacramento) The first of several joint hearings being held by the California State Senate and Assembly Select Committees on Improving State Government focused on the legislative and budget processes. Panelists at the first hearing represented elected offices, policy think-tanks, academic institutions and media outlets. Current and former elected officials weighed in on areas of improvement to the Legislature, among them State Treasurer Bill Lockyer, former Assembly Republican leader Robert Naylor and Inspector General Laura Chick. Assembly Budget Chair Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa) is especially interested in how California can overcome current obstacles to enact successful reform. Learn more in this Assembly Access video.
