‘California Connected’ To Examine Effectiveness of Proposition 36
"California Connected," a weekly, hour-long newsmagazine produced by PBS stations in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego and San Francisco that covers state events and issues, tonight will include a segment that examines the effectiveness of Proposition 36, the voter-approved ballot measure that allows many first- and second-time drug offenders to receive treatment rather than prison sentences. The segment includes profiles of two state residents who received treatment under the law. "California Connected" airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. PT on PBS stations in Eureka, Fresno, Los Angeles, Redding, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego and San Francisco. The program will be available online after the broadcast (KVIE release, 7/26).
