About this listen
As Democrats and Republicans battle over redrawing congressional maps, California’s system of direct democracy is once again in the spotlight. For over a century, California has allowed citizens to directly pass or reject laws on high profile issues, from marijuana and gay marriage to homelessness and sports betting. But the state’s direct democracy system has come under scrutiny in recent years, with critics saying special interests have gained too much influence. To discuss the pros, cons and history of California’s direct democracy, we are joined by Mark Baldassare, senior fellow at the USC Price School’s Bedrosian Center on Governance.
