So anyway, I digress.

So then you got Maine.

I don't have the full data in front of me, but we're talking in the hundreds of cases.

And I would say it's too soon to judge care court, but as Susan Eggman, the legislator who established it and had her bill watered down, her basic advice is to have very low expectations of it because it does not have the ability to compel care.

So it is going to I bet it will review a few hundred cases a year and result in some treatment happening.

But you have to compare that in context to a county like Sacramento, where we have more than 4,000 unsheltered homeless, two-thirds are believed to have behavioral health issues, a third are believed to have substance abuse disorders, and by Quist's own estimate, 95% of those with substance abuse disorders are not interested in treatment.

And I know in your reporting, you noticed she'd been in and out of jail.

And even so, it is almost impossible to get that kind of a mandatory treatment order, even with the change in the law.

And you mentioned Susan Eggman.

We know how... susan egman has a very personal stake in changing that law she has an aunt who was homeless who essentially contracted hiv aids from being sexually assaulted as a homeless person and you know dying later of that infection i mean i These things are so broad and so societal.

It's just under one month until Election Day, and voters are finding their ballots in their mailboxes.

In this episode, Susan and Josh will try to help voters by analyzing each of the upcoming California ballot propositions and discussing their implications, costs, and potential impacts.

Seeing no additional discussion, clerk will open the roll.

All members vote who desire to vote.

There's two questions on a standard recall ballot.

So if somebody gets recalled, you get to answer two questions, and they are conjoined, as they say.

The first question is, should Senator Susan Eggman be recalled from California? office and Susan just made a funny look.

Good day, and welcome to the slightly late latest episode of Sacramento's favorite bi-weekly roundtable discussion on politics, policy, and the people that make it happen.

In this episode, Susan and Josh explore the implications of the First Amendment, the influence of media ownership on politics, and the economic and political impact of the entertainment industry in California.

And so for our listeners, like we're a little out of sync.
