Tucson, Arizona -- You can't live in Tucson without constantly thinking about borders. The Sonoran desert is divided by a fence at the U.S.-Mexico border. Tucson is a liberal bastion separated from the rest of a staunchly conservative state. And the city itself is criss-crossed by highly charged boundaries cultural, economic and political. We take listeners to this desert city to hear stories about dividing lines, and what happens when people cross them: sometimes risking their lives, and sometimes their reputations ... and once in a while, against the odds, finding harmony in difference.

During Jerry Brown's first term as governor, California voters passed Proposition 13 to roll back property taxes and require a two-thirds majority for lawmakers to raise any tax. Today, Californians say they want great schools, effective infrastructure, long prison terms and a social safety net for the poor. But they still don't want to pay more taxes. So, Gov. Brown -- in his second stay in office -- is fighting an uphill battle for a measure asking voters to chip-in more. This election has become a referendum on the size and scope of government.
