205: Post election coverage by the Sacramento Current Crew

After hitting the election parties and digesting the returns, the guys from Sacramento Current are back at 3rd Bedroom Studio to talk about the June Primary results for local races.

Listen in and see what they have to say about the Mayor’s “mandate”, the turn out, campaign money influence, how ugly one council race got, the “social media candidate” vs. the “thoughtful candidate”, and so much more.  And, as if that wasn’t enough, as an added bonus, you’ll hear more about the Sacramento County Board of Education (the what?) than you ever wanted to.

Folks, this show is rated “WI” for Wonkishly Informative. . . consider yourself warned.
