League of California Cities Conference | CA’s Commercial Salmon Season Cancelled | In a Nutshell: Double-Edged Sword

för 1 day sedan

—

California city leaders call for more state funding to address priority issues. California cancels its commercial salmon season for a third year in a row. Finally, previewing this month’s “In a Nutshell” storytelling show. League of California Cities Conference City officials from across California rallied at the State Capitol yesterday calling for increased state funding to address local priorities ranging from affordable housing and homelessness, to implementing Proposition 36. Elk Grove Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen and Sacramento City Councilmember Caity Maple were among the speakers at yesterday’s event, which was organized by the League of California Cities. They join Insight to talk about what their communities need, and the action they hope to see from state officials. CA’s Commercial Salmon Season Cancelled California’s salmon are an iconic species which historically thrived in watersheds across the state. But centuries of damage to rivers and spawning areas have led to significant declines in salmon populations. Last week, California officials announced the state’s commercial salmon fishing season would be cancelled for an unprecedented third year in a row as the numbers of fish remain low. CalMatters environmental reporter Alastair Bland talks about why this cancellation was enacted, what it says about the state of salmon populations in California, and the communities and industries that rely on them. CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state. In a Nutshell: Double-Edged Sword What happens when a blessing becomes a curse? Think unlimited sweets. A litter of puppies. Fame. All might seem like a good idea if given the chance, but at what price? “Double-Edged Sword” is the theme of this month’s storytelling showcase, In a Nutshell at The Sofia in Sacramento on April 26. Two of this month’s featured storytellers, Regina Stoops and Marga Gomez , join host Keith Lowell Jensen to preview this month’s show.…

—

The Trump Administration shuts down AmeriCorps volunteer agency. Also, the new executive director of the Latino Center of Art & Culture. Finally, Fantastic Negrito to perform in Sacramento. Trump Cuts to AmeriCorps Since 1993, AmeriCorps has offered thousands of young adults the opportunity to help their communities through public service and volunteerism. However, last week the Trump administration placed most of the agency’s staff on administrative leave as it looks to slash the federal workforce. Thousands of volunteers with AmeriCorps’ National Civilian Community Corps were also released from their projects and sent home. Griff Ryan-Roberts is a former AmeriCorps volunteer and staff member. He joins Insight to talk about the mission of AmeriCorps, and how the agency’s sudden shuttering could impact members and communities across the country.

Yuba-Sutter Mobile Crisis Response | ‘Best Of’ How to Play with Your Cat | Museum Callout for Volunteers

för 3 dagar sedan

—

The Yuba-Sutter Mobile Crisis team responds to nonviolent mental or behavioral health calls. Also, the book “How to Play with Your Cat.” Finally, Sacramento-based museums collectively put a callout for more volunteers. Yuba-Sutter Mobile Crisis Response Nearly three years ago, the 988 Lifeline launched nationwide, a three-digit hotline that connects people to suicide and crisis counselors across the country- including more than a dozen call centers in California. This alternative to 911 is part of a larger shift of moving away from a one size fits all approach in responding to an emergency - especially in instances where law enforcement or other first responders may not be the best fit. During this time, counties across the state have been launching mobile crisis teams to respond to nonviolent mental or behavioral health calls. Drew Sutherland is the Clinical Director for Yuba-Sutter Mobile Crisis Response which is one of the newest to launch. ‘Best Of’ How to Play with Your Cat Roughly one in three U.S. households own a cat. But these popular pets are often misunderstood and that can create health and behavior problems. A cat behavior consultant in Sacramento has spent her career researching felines and poured what she learned into a fun, comprehensive guide.Today on Insight, we’re revisiting our conversation with Dr. Mikel Maria Delgado , an animal behavior scientist, about her book Play with your Cat! which is described as a fun, comprehensive guide to the key to feline happiness. Museum Callout for Volunteers We are lucky to have many museums within our reach. And they are joining forces to ask for your help. The coalition Sacramento Area Museums is putting a callout for the need for volunteers. Delta Pick Mello is the Executive Director of Sacramento History Museum . Christi Skibbins is the Director of Team Development for SMUD Museum of Science & Technology . And Jessica Cushenberry is the Public Programs Manager with the California Museum . They join Insight to discuss their individual needs, as well as the benefits that volunteering provides beyond community service.…

Gavin Newsom’s team is trying to protect California-made products from retaliatory action by other countries. The governor and Attorney General Rob Bonta have filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s tariffs, and also called on trading partners to exempt state goods.

Kounalakis also talks about her ongoing campaign for California governor in 2026. Tariff Impacts on Central Valley Farmers Farmers in the Central Valley could be hit hard by retaliatory tariffs imposed by China, Canada and other countries on goods including almonds, oranges and wine. Los Angeles Times Reporter Ian James explains why farmers in the Central Valley are concerned about the potential impacts of international retaliation. Recapping the Sacramento Kings’ Season T he Sacramento Kings’ 2024-25 season came to a disappointing end last Wednesday with a home play-in loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

Also, a new book looks at the return migration of Mexican migrants leaving the U.S. Finally, Sacramento Public Library’s events celebrating children and lucha libre. Small Business Break-Ins In recent weeks, there have been a string of break-ins targeting small businesses in Sacramento. Several eateries in neighborhoods spanning downtown , Land Park, Curtis Park and Tahoe Park have posted on social media, sharing video of their storefront windows being smashed. Craig Takehara is the Chef and Owner of Binchoyaki Izakaya Dining , which has been broken into and vandalized twice in the span of two weeks. He joins us for a conversation about the challenges facing small businesses. Return Migration to Mexico At a time when immigration and the threat of mass deportations have been dominating news headlines, a new book is looking into the number of Mexican migrants who have chosen to leave the United States and go back to Mexico, finding that this wave of return migration has hit a level not seen in at least 50 years. Erin Hamilton is a Professor of Sociology at UC Davis and one of the authors of The Returned: Former U.S. Migrants’ Lives in Mexico City which found that between 2010 and 2020, more people entered Mexico from the U.S. than entered the U.S. from Mexico.

Bernie, AOC Rally in Folsom | CA Mural Bill | Old-Growth Forests and Wildfires

för 9 dagar sedan

—

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rally in Folsom. Also, a state bill to streamline murals in public spaces. Finally, a UC Davis study looks at protecting old-growth forests from wildfires. Bernie, AOC Rally in Folsom They are two of the most recognizable names in the Democratic Party. Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez launched a Fighting Oligarchy tour, with its latest stop in Sacramento County. The rally drew a crowd of thousands at Folsom Lake College , as well as counter protests. The goal of this tour is to push back against the Trump Administration, as Democrats recalibrate after decisive losses. CapRadio Politics Reporter Laura Fitzgerald joins us with how last night’s event from progressives fits within the larger strategy of the Democratic Party. CA Mural Bill From one city to the next, murals are celebrated for brightening up drab alleys or blighted buildings. Behind these beloved pieces are muralists who thoughtfully dedicate their skill to create community art. But this profession falls under a grey area when it comes to licensing, and that can bog down bringing these murals to life. A bill is making its way through the state Capitol with the goal to streamline the process. Jaya King is an artist and muralist based in Sacramento, Julie Baker is the CEO of California for the Arts and Donald Gensler is the Art in Public Places Manager for the City of Sacramento. They join Insight to explain how Senate Bill 456 would benefit murals in public places. Old-Growth Forests and Wildfires Old-growth forests were once prevalent across California’s landscape and play significant environmental roles - from storing carbon, to providing a variety of habitats, and filtering water. But centuries of human activity have caused many old-growth forests to disappear, and left the few remaining ones vulnerable to catastrophic wildfires. A new study from UC Davis looks at how to protect these old trees by combining prescribed fire with forest thinning. Hugh Safford is a vegetation and fire ecologist at UC Davis. He breaks down this new research, as well as how the idea of environmental conservation needs to change - and include human activity.…

för 11 dagar sedan

Last-minute tax tips with the California Franchise Tax Board and IRS. Also, an investigation into why dangerous drivers in the state are allowed to keep their license. Finally, artist Jack McTiernan’s exhibit in Sacramento. Last-Minute Tax Tips Tax Day is tomorrow for the majority of people. Iris Solis from the California Franchise Tax Board and Raphael Tulino from the IRS join Insight with last-minute filing tips for state and federal income taxes. They will also explain what is needed to file for an extension, tax bill payment options, as well as scams to be on the lookout for . Investigation into CA’s Most Dangerous Drivers Of the roughly 40 million people in California, 28 million - or 70% - have a driver’s license. Getting behind the wheel is a privilege, not a right, that can be stripped away. But an investigation found that in California, the DMV routinely allows drivers with dangerous histories to keep their license . CalMatters Investigative Reporter Robert Lewis spent the past year looking into driving records statewide and found that nearly 40% of the drivers charged with vehicular manslaughter since 2019 currently have a valid license, and that the DMV has issued licenses to people less than a year after they allegedly killed someone on the road. In the most extreme cases, they have gone on to kill again. CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state. CapRadio reached out to the DMV for comment. They did not respond before broadcast, but sent a statement that read in part: “The DMV recognizes the serious concerns raised regarding drivers involved in fatal crashes who maintained or regained driving privileges. The DMV acknowledges that the processes and coordination between the judicial system and the DMV must continually evolve to address any gaps identified. The DMV launched the Driver Safety Portal to strengthen our oversight and response mechanisms. This online system significantly improves our capability to track, manage and respond to incidents involving negligent driving behavior, thereby enhancing overall public safety.” Artist Jack McTiernan Artist Jack McTiernan joins Insight to discuss his exhibit Crossroads & Intersections at the ARTHOUSE Gallery in downtown Sacramento through May 5, which highlights how daily responsibilities distract from the beauty in everyday surroundings via an exploration in color and materials. Jack will be available for a Q&A session Sun. April 27 from 1 to 2 p.m.…
