Athletics Home Opener | Prop 35 and Medi-Cal Funding | Arts Talk


Listen Later

The Athletics home opener at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. Also, an update on voter approved Prop 35 Medi-Cal funding. Finally, “Arts Talk” highlights events this month.

Athletics Home Opener
One year ago it became official. The Athletics would say goodbye to Oakland and make West Sacramento its new temporary home, as Las Vegas builds an MLB stadium. Last night, the A’s welcomed a sold out crowd for its home opener at Sutter Health Park, the home of the Sacramento RiverCats. CapRadio Communities Reporter Keyshawn Davis and Sacramento Bee Senior Reporter Chris Biderman join us with the highlights and significance of this moment in Sacramento sports.

Prop 35 and Medi-Cal Funding
Voters overwhelmingly approved Prop 35, which promised to give a long-awaited pay bump to doctors and hospitals who serve the state’s lowest-income residents via an already existing tax on health care plans. But state regulators have yet to direct a dollar for the Medi-Cal initiative’s intended purposes or even develop a framework for doing so. Rachel Bluth is the California Health Care Reporter for POLITICO and joins us with her reporting on the delay.

Arts Talk 
Arts advocate Veronica Rodriguez is back for this month’s Arts Talk hooking us up with events for all ages, including the opening of Sacramento’s newest music venue Channel 24
