Host Rich Ehisen is back from the wilderness, just in time to welcome lobbyist Jennifer Fearing. Fearing is perhaps California's best known "White Hat" lobbyist - she largely represents animal rights orgs, environmental groups and other nonprofits - and is recognized for punching above her weight. High on her priority list this session were three bills that would curtail "puppy mill" sales in the state; SB 312, AB 519 and AB 506 have passed the legislature and are currently waiting on the Governor's signature. She spoke with us about those bills, about the unstable environment nonprofit orgs have found themselves in, what she, and her clients are doing about it. And of course we asked her about First Dog Sutter Brown. 1:37 Highway 395 2:40 The Dave Cogdill Memorial Highway 6:15 "Dewey Defeats Truman" 8:36 From Culbert Olson to a biography of Lone Pine 14:19 Jennifer Fearing 15:10 The environment for nonprofits today 19:28 How do you plan for this moment? 20:42 AB 1318 22:38 "Giant mess" 25:30 Practical actions 26:44 "We have GoBiz but we don't have GoNonProfits" 27:31 Necessary reforms? 29:29 Puppy Mill bills 35:59 Gov.
