 (John Myers/KQED)

With apologies to Alex Trebek, this week we dive into a sampling of California political news and notes that would be perfect for a quick quiz on a game show.

We examine new polling on the electorate's appetite for taxes and new efforts to fight poverty. We also discuss how critics of 2015's new vaccination law failed to force a statewide vote on the new mandate. And we examine this week's report on the record, so far, of 2011's public safety realignment.
