Props 47 And 48 - All Things Considered Anchor Ed Joyce, joins us to explain what a yes for Prop 27 vote means. From LAO - A YES vote on this measure means: Criminal offenders who commit certain non-serious and nonviolent drug and property crimes would be sentenced to reduced penalties (such as shorter terms in jail). State savings resulting from the measure would be used to support school truancy and dropout prevention, victim services, mental health and drug abuse treatment, and other programs designed to keep offenders out of prison and jail. A NO vote on this measure means: Penalties for offenders who commit certain non-serious and nonviolent drug and property crimes would not be reduced. Capitol Reporter Katie Orr, joins us to explain what a yes vote for Prop 48 means. From LAO - A YES vote on this measure means: The state's compacts with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians and the Wiyot Tribe would go into effect. As a result, North Fork would be able to construct and operate a new casino in Madera County and would be required to make various payments to state and local governments, Wiyot, and other tribes. A NO vote on this measure means: The state's compacts with North Fork and Wiyot would not go into effect. As a result, neither tribe could begin gaming unless new compacts were approved by the state and federal governments.

Kushman by the Bottle - For Kushman by the Bottle this week, we're getting back back to the basic notion of, "don't let wine be scary."
