Description
Robin Moore’s Tiny Home Community
Cities across California plan to build thousands of new tiny homes to help address the ongoing homelessness crisis. Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty is planning to add more than 100 of the small shelters around the city. A private citizen in Sacramento has already given the strategy a try. Retired preschool teacher Robin Moore opened several tiny homes in her own backyard four years ago, and is the namesake of a new grant program McCarty announced to support his vision. Moore joins Insight about how she decided to open up her yard to those in need.
Hatch Act Explainer
A video blaming Democrats for the government shutdown is being shown at airports around the country, and similar messaging has appeared on government websites. But some airports, including Sacramento, have declined to show the video, and some legal experts warn the messaging could be illegal. Steven Macias is a visiting Professor of Law at McGeorge School of Law, and joins us to break down the federal Hatch Act, which limits certain political activities for government employees to maintain a politically neutral environment.
