In this first part of a three part episode, we talk to Independent California Institute Executive Director, Coyote Marin, about the art of crafting survey questions that will yield meaningful information about the state of mind of Californians.  How does polling help plan for California's future?

Introducing California Centric, a production of the Independent California Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit think tank, whose focus is on exploring increasing autonomy for California, up to and including home rule.

Why don't Californians have universal health coverage? What can we do to get a better deal from the US? What should we do to get a better deal? This is one of our polling questions. Coyote and Tim expand on the question and discuss the history and issues behind it.

Digging a little deeper into the live issues behind the polling questions. Why these particular questions, and what can we do with the answers? Land, courts, policing our borders, and the rainy day fund: what all these have to do with autonomy.
