Beinvinos, that's California for welcome to the June 9th edition of National Reviews Radio Free California podcast. I'm Will Swain, president of the California Policy Center. You can find my colleagues and me at

California Policy Center.org. You can find my friend and co-host David Bonson right here. He's an
