The Hot Seat: State Sen. Robert Hertzberg
Hertzberg is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Governance and Finance, which he said has jurisdiction over "all local government issues...all taxes, tax credits, taxation and the like." He said he started working on an overhaul of the California Tax Code during his first day in the Senate. The senator said he would not change Prop. 13.
Host Max Schwartz and Hertzberg, a former speaker of the California State Assembly, also discussed elected judges and the retention election process.
