Recent Work and Upcoming Events
Here is my recent work along with a schedule of upcoming events, including the 2010 Global Forum on Modern Direct Democracy in San Francisco this summer, July 31-Aug. 4. That's a free, public event, though I'm seeking sponsors who can help subsidize the travel costs of experts from around the world who otherwise could not afford to attend. More details -- including registration info -- at www.2010globalforum.com
I'm also pleased to announce that my new book, California Crackup: How Reform Broke the Golden State and How We Can Fix It, co-authored with Mark Paul, will be published this summer by the University of California Press. You can pre-order here, and if you're inclined to pre-order, I suggest you order a paperback--it's a paperback original, and the hardcover price is astronomical. If you do order, please be sure to type in the following source discount code -- 10M9071 -- so you save 20 percent.

March 25 in Sacramento. Speech to the California Budget Project conference, 9 a.m., Sacramento Convention Center. "Roadblocks and Reform: Is This The Year We 'Fix' California?" More info here.
