Should We Recall the Recall?

Now more than ever, Californians are hearing about recalls and witnessing them happening at all levels of government. We will be exploring Recalls and examining the history, impact, and relevance of this little-known corner of California’s democracy. We will discuss how we can improve the recall process to better serve our political system and our communities. This episode also features interviews with Joshua Spivak, a Senior Fellow at the Hugh L. Carey Institute for Government Reform, and Sylvia Leong, the current Board Vice President of the Cupertino Union School District.
