Ep. 320: California's Big, Bloated, $325 Billion Budget

The California Legislature has passed a $325 billion budget, a 10% increase from last year, while the state is facing a $12 billion budget deficit. Also, singer Nezza sings the National Anthem, in Spanish, at a Dodgers game this past weekend. And Senator Alex Padilla gets his "Spartacus" moment.
