Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin visited San Diego’s South Bay this week. He wanted to see firsthand the impacts of the cross border sewage crisis in the San Diego-Tijuana region. This week on Roundtable, we discuss his plans to address the problem, and how he's looking to pressure Mexico to help fix it.

Then, we take a look at recent reporting on special interest spending in California, and what it tells us about how lobbying impacts state policymaking.

Plus, we dive into other stories making news this week on the roundup.
