California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act is a decade old. The Crocker Art Museum’s Lial Jones retires at the end of the year. Finally, a local opera prodigy is now pursuing her Ph.D. and performing overseas.

10 Years of California’s SGMA
This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the approval of California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), which aimed to conserve the pumping of this valuable resource. But nearly a decade after its passage, questions remain about whether the law is fulfilling its promise and protecting its users. Tien Tran, Senior Policy Advocate with the Community Water Center and Nataly Escobedo Garcia, Policy Coordinator with the Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability join Insight to talk about the history of the law, the equity issues surrounding water, and how implementation of SGMA could change. 

Crocker Art Museum’s Lial Jones Retirement
The Crocker Art Museum is the oldest public art museum west of the Mississippi, and its history dates back to the founding of Sacramento. Now, a driving force behind the Crocker’s success and growth for the past 25 years is stepping down. Museum Director and CEO Lial Jones looks back on her contributions to the arts, and the future of the Crocker as an institution in Sacramento.

Soprano Prodigy Tiara Abraham
Eighteen-year old soprano Tiara Abraham is a musical prodigy, having graduated from UC Davis at 16 with her bachelor’s degree  and becoming the youngest person to earn their Master’s Degree from Indiana University earlier this year. Tiara returns to Insight for an update on where she has been performing, and her plans for the future.
