San Quentin reimagined, Lisa Kaplan is bad, and Dianne Feinstein’s inauspicious return

Governor Gavin Newsom recently announced that he would convert San Quentin prison from one of the worst carceral establishments in history into a rehabilitative and instructive facility that would help incarcerated folks find their way back into society upon release.

And who would he pick to head up this project? None other than Sacramento mayor Darrell Steinberg.

We discuss the pros and cons of this storyline.

We then touch on Sacramento's new least favorite council member, Lisa Kaplan from District 1. She took all the money from the region's worst people, of course, but we can't help but be interested by her peculiar/horrible behavior on the dais these days.

Finally, Senator Dianne Feinstein is back, baby!

And how many things does that say about our crumbling gerontocracy?

Thanks for listening and, as always:
