Beirut Explosion

A year ago tomorrow, an explosion ripped through the port of Beirut. One small remnant of the devastation: a church where graves were actually blown open. A year on, the church is still in a state of disrepair. And the clergy is trying to support families with food and medical expenses. The story of a church in Beirut tells us a lot about the past year in Beirut, and a year of suffering.see more

On June 5, San Francisco voters will decide whether to approve Proposition F, which would use public funds to provide a lawyer to any tenant facing eviction. Proponents say the measure will protect thousands of tenants from being unfairly pushed out of their homes. Opponents say Proposition  F would force taxpayers to pay legal bills for tenants who violate their leases or who can afford a lawyer on their own. We'll hear from both sides of the debate.

Guests:
Dean Preston, executive director, Tenants Together
Charley Goss, community and government affairs manager, San Francisco Apartment Association
