In this special podcast, longtime California political junkie Peter B. Collins reviews all 17 statewide initiatives facing voters November 8…..Your humble host doesn’t tell you how to vote, but will review the pro’s and con’s of the 17 initiatives on the November, 2016 statewide ballot, and share his intentions.
