Ep. 534 - GMMB Monday 24 Mar 2025

Gail Pelerin was with us. She has several bills underway. One regulates how renters can get their deposit back when they move out. Another addresses standby guardianship, which has to do with who will care for citizen children whose non-citizen parents are deported. There is a bill to consider whether judges should be appointed rather than elected, since so many voters skip that category.

Mark Mozena had even more topics for us than usual.
