CA Lawmakers Address Insurance Crisis
The devastating wildfires across the Los Angeles area have put additional pressure on California’s already-strained insurance market, as well as the FAIR Plan - the “provider of last resort.” CalMatters Economy Reporter Levi Sumagaysay joins Insight to talk about actions lawmakers are taking to try to fix insurance market problems

CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public radio stations across the state.

New Cat Lounge in Davis
Roughly one in three Americans have a cat at home. But they’re kind of misunderstood in the veterinary world - especially compared to their canine peers. The Insight team hit the road and visited Cat Tales in Davis, which is a health center created solely for felines. They also opened Tabby Tea Cat Lounge and Adoption Center, where the public can make a reservation to hang with shelter cats. Chris "Shac" Shacoski is a veterinarian who opened Cat Tales with his wife Julie Cole, who serves as the medical director. He explains why specialized care for felines is needed. 

Sacramento ‘Paint-and-Skate’ Day
Calling all muralists and skateboarders. There is a free event happening in downtown Sacramento this weekend to beautify one of the city’s public spaces. ORLUarts Muralist Liv Losee-Unger and City of Sacramento Art in Public Places Manager Donald Gensler discuss the free paint-and-skate day at the Skate Park in Sutter’s Landing Regional Park on Sat. March 15 from 1 to 4pm.
