(Episode 410) Siyamak sits down with Chris Micheli, a lobbyist from Sacramento, who explains how California’s legislature works and why California doesn’t really need thousands of bills a year.

“We’re a bill factory. We’re just churning out way too many bills year in and year out. We don’t spend much time studying the problem. And we don’t really evaluate alternatives, or just looking at the bill before us that we’re being asked to vote on in the next 10 minutes after that short proponent and opponent testimony.”
