The most crucial work of the 2021 legislative session will be the crafting of a balanced budget for the coming biennium. Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka and Senate Minority Leader Susan Kent join Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to outline their respective caucus's goals for the session.

Also in the program, lawmakers call for stiffer penalties when law enforcement officers are injured in the line of duty, and a joint meeting of the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy committees critiques the proposed adoption of California's 'clean car' emissions standards.
