Published 3 years, 3 months ago
Description
In the wake of the midterms, we explore why an ballot measure too fight climate change failed in California, and why a different one succeeded in New York.
On Today's Show:
Voters in New York approved a $4.2 billion dollar environmental bond initiative while voters in California rejected a ballot measure that would have levied a tax on high earners to pay for electric vehicle infrastructure. Blanca Begert, reporting fellow at Grist, discusses what New Yorkers will be going into debt to pay for, and how Californians will now prepare for their EV future.
