Air Resources Board Chairman Mary
Nichols has spent her entire career focused on protecting our natural
resources. One of the first environmental attorneys in the nation, Nichols is
now tasked with implementing AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, California ’s historic first-in-the-nation
attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that many scientists believe are the
main cause of global climate change. In her first visit to the Sacramento Press
Club, Nichols discusses how this new era of “climate thinking” will shape California’s future.

With the May special election now in the books, it was time for the annual Mark and Mark Show, featuring preeminent pollsters Mark Baldassare of the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) and Mark DiCamillo of the Field Poll. As always, “the Marks” shared their insights into what voters were thinking and feeling prior to the election and gauged the mood of that same electorate as we head into what promises to be yet another protracted budget battle.
