It also has some of America's worst housing costs, highest wealth and income inequality, eye-watering energy prices, stubborn homelessness, weak infrastructure and awful school outcomes. Yet after years of Democratic dominance, voters still seem reluctant to change the management. This week on In Search of Sanity , California newspaper editor Joe Tarica joins us to ask why.

The British Monarchy Had Enough Problems. Then Harry Came Home. (opens the original)
Read excerpt

How the Fourth-Largest Economy on the Planet Became a One-Party State (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This month on 'iSoS in Conversation', we sit down for a jovial hour with Jordan Cunningham — former California Assemblyman, ex-prosecutor, and now a political consultant— for an unflinching look at how The Democrats took over California and what's left of the California GOP. We discuss: How The Democrats became a super majority. Reagan. Schwarzenegger. Now this. What neutered the California GOP? Britain manages fifteen parties in one Parliament. California can barely manage two. What's the fix?
