Weather Challenges in Land Park | CA State Budget | Newsom’s Second Term | Infused Aperitifs Celebrating Yolo County

How Sacramento is processing the intense scenes caused by the winter storms. Gov. Newsom’s state budget proposal, which includes a projected $22 billion deficit. Unique tasting room in Winters offering low alcohol infused aperitifs.  

Winter challenges

The city of Sacramento estimates that roughly 1,000 trees have fallen since the first major storm on New Year’s Day. Estimates of financial damage won’t be known for weeks, but local businesses are dealing with the impact and residents are taking in the loss of some parks as we knew them. CapRadio Health Care Reporter Kate Wolffe went out to one of the city’s largest parks, William Land Park, to get a better understanding on how the community is processing the intense scenes caused by the winter storms.  

Proposed state budget

After years of record surplus, California is projecting a budget deficit this year. CapRadio Politics Reporter Nicole Nixon explains Gov. Newsom’s state budget proposal, which includes a projected $22 billion deficit, and how this could impact key investments on public education, homelessness and climate. Following Nicole, Wayne Winegarden, Senior Fellow of Business and Economics at the Pacific Research Institute, provides a critical lens of the state budget.
