We talk with Magnus Lofstrom, policy director and senior fellow with the Public Policy Institute of California, about how counties are implementing Proposition 36. Voters approved the measure in November amid frustration with crime.

Plus, the latest news headlines: Cal Fire’s wildfire outlook for the summer, and a Valley high school mascot is competing to be the best in the nation.
