Typically, each week, site publisher Jon Fleischman, a veteran of California politics for over three decades, brings on a guest for a one-on-one interview focused on some aspect of California politics or policy. This week, Jon takes a break from his usual routine to bring you a special 25-minute solo podcast, where he provides a detailed analysis of the current state of the Proposition 50 campaigns.
Jon, of course, is a partisan — as a constitutional conservative and Republican. He’s a former regional Vice Chairman and former Executive Director of the California Republican Party. But Jon is known for his candor, especially when engaging in political analysis, and in this “must listen” podcast, Jon walks through why the campaign is not going so great for opponents to Prop. 50 right now, and also takes a deep dive into why that is the case. He closes with a discussion about what happens if Proposition 50 passes — because the fight at the ballot box is not the last fight to defeat the cynical measure.
