Here a report and video on the Zocalo Public Square panel I moderated last night in Los Angeles. The subject was the human cost of state budget cuts. We were joined by Mike Herald of the Western Center on Law & Poverty, journalist and activist Marta Russell, parent and advocate Michelle Wolf, Community Clinic Assn. of LA County chief Gloria Rodriguez, and state Sen. Gilbert Cedillo.

And here's a link to my story in Saturday's Wall Street Journal on the possibility of major tax changes in California.
