A Closer Look at California's Billion Dollar Union Machine

On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Carl Jackson fills in for Scott with a look at the power of major institutions and why putting more control back in the hands of individuals and local communities matters. Investigative journalist Kenneth Schrupp of City Journal joins Carl to discuss his reporting on California’s billion-dollar public-sector union machine and the influence organized labor wields over state government and politics. In Hour Two, BeefMaps.com policy analyst Breeauna Sagdal examines America’s increasingly centralized food system and makes the case for consumers building direct relationships with local farmers and ranchers for meat, dairy and produce, discussing how a more decentralized food supply could strengthen consumers, producers and communities.
