California homeowners are facing a growing wildfire insurance crisis. With rising rates, reduced coverage options, and increased wildfire risk due to climate change and inflation, understanding your insurance options is more important than ever. In this episode of the All Things Wildfire podcast, host OP Almaraz speaks with Sharon Smith, Outreach Analyst at the California Department of Insurance, to discuss the challenges, solutions, and legislative changes shaping wildfire coverage in California. Why Wildfire Insurance Rates Are Rising in California Wildfire insurance premiums are increasing due to multiple factors: Climate change is driving more frequent and severe wildfires. Inflation has pushed up construction and repair costs. Outdated regulations under Proposition 103 have made it difficult for insurers to adapt pricing to today's risks. Sharon explains why Prop 103 needs modernization to better protect homeowners and keep insurance available in high-risk fire zones. Understanding Proposition 103 and Its Impact Proposition 103 is a decades-old regulation that governs how insurance rates are approved in California. While it was designed to protect consumers, many experts argue it hasn't evolved to address the current wildfire landscape. Modernizing Prop 103 could help stabilize the insurance market while ensuring fair treatment for policyholders. The Safer from Wildfires Program The Safer from Wildfires program is a state-led initiative to improve home resilience against wildfire damage. By completing specific home-hardening measures, homeowners may: Reduce their risk of fire damage. Qualify for potential insurance discounts. Increase their chances of keeping existing coverage. The California Fair Plan: Last-Resort Coverage For homeowners unable to find traditional coverage, the California Fair Plan acts as a safety net. However, it's meant as a temporary solution. Modernizing the Fair Plan is essential, especially for high-value homes that require broader protection. Admitted vs. Non-Admitted Insurance Carriers Understanding the difference between admitted insurance carriers (regulated by the state) and non-admitted carriers (not backed by the state's guarantee fund) is critical when comparing wildfire insurance policies. Sharon provides insights on the pros and cons of each option. Smoke Remediation and New Task Force Efforts Smoke damage after a wildfire can create serious health hazards. The California Department of Insurance has established a task force to address smoke remediation standards, helping homeowners get better results from their claims and contractors. Legislative Changes and Homeowner Resources Sharon discusses new legislative proposals designed to: Ease the recovery process after a wildfire. Improve claims handling by insurance companies. Provide more resources to homeowners navigating wildfire-related claims. The California Department of Insurance offers free resources to help property owners understand their rights, find coverage, and take preventive measures.

Concerns are growing that the galloping advance of artificial intelligence will imperil our jobs, freedoms and country. I call the phenomenon “FrankenAI,” and even some in the industry worry it's becoming a man-made monster. We're told the unregulated pursuit of AI is required to compete with Communist China or we'll be permanently dominated – militarily and economically.  Some experts are warning, however, that by allowing China to buy AI-useful Nvidia H20 chips – and then profit from the sales, the Trump administration will help it beat us.  While others contend those chips are widely available, and we'll stay ahead by selling them, we seem to be facing a lose-lose proposition: Facilitating Chinese AI dominance – even as we pursue technologies that may make us more like Communist China – appears to be a formula for FrankenAI, at their hands or ours.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Capital tends to flow where it is treated the best. Well the state of Texas is considering a change to its constitution which will have no immediate impact on taxes. Currently the state of Texas has no state income tax for individuals or businesses. It also has no capital gains tax. Texas is currently in the process of considering a constitutional amendment that would permanently prohibit a state-level capital gains tax. This is a significant development, especially since Texas already has no state income or capital gains tax. The proposed change isn't to add a tax, but to legally block one from ever being enacted in the future.Texas voters will decide on Proposition 2, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment, on November 4, 2025.Of course any income earned in the state of Texas including capital gains is still subject to Federal income tax and capital gains tax. So why is this significant? When a jurisdiction is seen as business friendly, it tends to attract investment. It attracts more than its fair share of jobs and prosperity. This is sending a message to the business community that Texas is open for business and is open for investment and residency. This might be considered a PR stunt since in the short term it really changes nothing. But investment in a location starts with making a favourable first impression. It's one step along the path of many steps that are ultimately required to get a company to locate there. ---------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

In this episode, Dr. Jim Zeliff, DVM, MBA, joined us to discuss the emergence of mid-level veterinary practitioners. In November 2024, Colorado voters passed Proposition 129, creating a “veterinary professional associate” position. After two years of training and certification, these associates would be able to practice veterinary medicine under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.The AVMA, AAEP, and many other veterinary associations are strongly opposed to this mid-level role. In the episode, Dr. Zeliff encouraged veterinarians to become involved in their state VMA to increase advocacy for equine and other sectors of veterinary medicine. In closing, he said increased utilization of licensed veterinary technicians is an important part of keeping VPAs out of equine veterinary medicine.The Business of Practice Podcast is brought to you by CareCredit.This information is shared solely for your convenience.

 Proposition #4: The land of the Bible served in a typological role as a model of the consummate realization of the purposes of God for his redeemed people that encompasses the whole of the cosmos. Because of the inherently limited scope of the land of the Bible, it is not to be regarded as having continuing significance in the realm of redemption other than its function as a teaching model. For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Voters in Columbia/Boone County will cast ballots Tuesday on Proposition 1, which involves exempting senior citizens from increases in property taxes. Former State Rep. Cheri Toalson Reisch (R-Hallsville) is urging voters to vote yes on Tuesday, saying this is a full freeze to include bond levies. She joined host Fred Parry in-studio Saturday morning on 939 the Eagle's “CEO Roundtable” and discussed Proposition One. Former Rep. Toalson Reisch says seniors deserve a break on their property taxes. Meantime, voters in Columbia's second ward will be filling a vacant council seat. Former second ward Councilwoman Lisa Meyer resigned in May for health reasons, so that seat has been vacant for more than two months. Businessman Ken Rice is running against activist Vera Elwood. The second ward includes the Belwood, Park DeVille, Parkade and Vanderveen neighborhoods along with some retirement homes. While Mr. Rice gives city manager De'Carlon Seewood a grade a “D”, he adds that the council gets in Mr. Seewood's way. Mr. Rice also describes the Office of Violence Prevention as a breath of fresh air. Mr. Rice also joined host Fred Parry. They also tackled the issues of homelessness, public safety and Columbia Utilities:

A major victory for gun rights advocates: California's controversial 2016 ammunition law has just been ruled unconstitutional by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Effective immediately, millions of Californians can buy ammunition without background checks or extra fees.Passed as Proposition 63, the law required a background check for every ammo purchase—until now. This landmark decision could have massive implications for gun legislation nationwide.

*Wheat harvest is winding down in the southern U.S.  *Australia will now allow imports of American beef.  *Texas sheep and goat producers need more tools to control predators. *EPDs can help cattle producers improve their herds.  *A provision designed to prevent a patchwork of laws like California's Proposition 12 could be included in the next Farm Bill.  *Consumer demand for beef is at record highs.  *Dry conditions continue through most of the lower Coastal Bend.  *Equine asthma can occur in all horses.  

This week, I sat down with Lisa R. Burchi, Of Counsel to Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. and resident expert on Proposition 65, among many other chemical laws. Lisa explains why businesses doing business in California need to know about the latest version of the so-called “short form” warning requirements that will be fully phased in by 2028. That may sound like a long way off, but it is not. We also discuss the complicated history of the short form label changes, some of the business considerations pertinent to the selection of the short form label of which stakeholders should be aware, and we cover the significant consequences of non-compliance with the warning requirements.

When you think of the county fair, you might picture carnival rides, fried food, and blue ribbons. But what about bringing home a freezer full of meat? When you head to the county fair, you can support young producers and stock up on beef, pork, or lamb. Andy Geiss joins Stephanie Hoff to discuss the possibilities. Geiss operates Geiss Meat Service in Merrill. He's also the president of the Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors. Geiss walks us through the process of buying meat at the fair and why it matters for your community. He says before placing a bid at the livestock auction, you should know how much meat you’ll be bringing home and if you have enough freezer space. Dangerously hot weather will blanket Wisconsin today. Stu Muck also cautions that there could be some sporadic thunderstorms that might pop up and create havoc too. Sometimes things don't go according to plan, but that can create opportunity. Randy Cath with the Steffes Group auction firm joins Pam Jahnke to highlight an upcoming Wisconsin auction that features gently used harvest equipment that won't be needed by the owner, but could be a wonderful addition to another farm. Cath says sometimes farms have more equipment than their acres require and that presents a great opportunity. Paid for by Steffes Group. Today the House Agriculture Committee will take a look at a "fix" for California's Proposition 12. Will Coggin from the Center for Environment and Welfare says consumers have had it with the escalated price on pork and eggs within their borders. Now the challenge will be to overcome the heavily funded animal rights activists that created Prop 12, with a more moderate approach to farming methods. The excessive heat Wisconsin will experience today is only one of the elements that county fairs and their exhibitor will have to overcome and manage through. Kiley Allan visits with Bernie O'Rourke, UW-Extension Youth Livestock Specialist, about all the stress exhibitors and their animals can experience. Different surroundings, sounds, people, water - it adds up! Making sure that exhibitors have their eyes wide open to the challenges before they leave the farm is not only critical, but a public safety issue.

EP77 Save The Hunt – A conversation with Dan Gates of Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management  Of the Rocky Mountain states, Colorado has been ground zero for animal rights and anti-hunting, trapping, and science-based wildlife management extremists bent on challenging more than 100 years of successful and sportsmen funded wildlife restoration and management. After a stingingly narrow victory of a ballot box biology initiative to introduce grey wolves into the state, conservation minded Coloradans formed Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management (CRWM) led by Dan Gates to become the tip of the spear for anticipated future battles. Using a collaborative approach, identifying key constituencies, and key, and factual messaging, Dan and CRWM found the secret sauce to defeat Proposition 127 this past November that would have ended mountain lion management, as well as two other anti-led with Governor's office support ballot initiatives. These were not only defeated, they were crushed by CRWM with financial support from across the country including WSF's contribution of $100,000 to educate the public on the consequences of Prop 127.  Sheep Fever co-host Gray Thornton, and guest host Corey Mason sit down in studio with Dan to discuss the 2024 wins, and plans for the next, seemingly never-ended battle to preserve science-informed, sustainable use wildlife conservation. Sit back with a Scotch and cigar, and enjoy! 

Seattle voters will decide in August whether to renew funding for the city's groundbreaking Democracy Voucher Program, the first and only system of its kind in the United States that gives residents public money to support local candidates of their choice. Proposition 1 on the August 5 primary ballot asks voters to approve a 10-year property tax levy to continue the program, which provides every eligible Seattle resident with four $25 vouchers annually to contribute to qualified candidates for mayor, city attorney, and city council. Estevan Muñoz-Howard was one of the original leaders of the 2015 campaign that created the Democracy Voucher program and continues his work as a democracy activist with People Powered Elections Seattle. Professor Jennifer Heerwig from Stony Brook University is the leading scholar studying the program's impacts. She's tracked its effects through multiple election cycles and recently published a book on her findings called Democracy Vouchers and the Promise of Fairer Elections in Seattle.   As always, a full text transcript of the show is available at officialhacksandwonks.com.   Follow us on Bluesky at @HacksAndWonks.

In today's AgNet News Hour, hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill bring Central Valley energy to the airwaves with an in-depth and timely conversation featuring Daniel Hartwig, President of the California Fresh Fruit Association. From soaring regulatory costs to looming freight challenges, Hartwig offers a candid look at the pressure facing California growers—and how they're responding with grit and innovation. Hartwig  represents 13 fruit commodities ranging from stone fruit and table grapes to pomegranates and persimmons. But beyond sweet fruit, he carries the weight of advocating for the state's farmers in Sacramento and Washington, where he says “regulatory burdens have multiplied 12 to 14 times over the last decade.” He makes clear that California's growers aren't asking for special treatment—just a level playing field. The episode also tackles key federal and state battles. Proposition 12, California's controversial animal housing law, is now the subject of a federal lawsuit. U.S. Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins calls the law “unconstitutional” and says it limits consumer choice while driving up food costs. Nick and Josh dig into what that lawsuit could mean for producers nationwide. Hartwig's insights on trade, water access, and labor are especially valuable. He warns that California's unique combination of high minimum wage, strict environmental rules, and mounting tariffs is squeezing small and mid-size growers out of the industry. “We've been operating in crisis mode for a long time,” he says—but insists that the pendulum may finally be swinging back toward common sense. From student FFA involvement to rising freight costs and property rights, this episode covers the wide landscape of ag policy and on-the-ground realities. It's a must-listen for those who want to stay informed—and inspired—about the future of California farming.

The state budget is complete, but really not finished. Pam Jahnke finds out how crafting this state budget took a turn when the federal "Big Beautiful Bill" was being crafted at the same time. State Senator Pat Testin is vice chair of the Joint Finance Committee. He also serves as chair of the Senate Agriculture and Revenue Committee. He tells Jahnke that there were conversations or compromise throughout the statehouse, but there are items that are left to be dealt with.Some severe weather overnight in extreme southern Wisconsin gets the attention of Stu Muck. Weekend weather should be friendly for crowds at county fairs.Scouting is the tool of choice right now for Dean Ebert, product manager at Helena Agri's location in West Bend. Ebert says that they're pulling plant samples to see what plants want in this critical phase of growth. Paid for by Helena Agri.USDA has filed a lawsuit against the state of California alleging that their Proposition 12 requiring cage free egg production is unconstitutional. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins explained the details.In rural Wisconsin, residents can call 911 but may wait as much as an hour for emergency staff to respond. It's a dire situation that James Small with the Office of Rural Health is drawing attention to. A recent survey of fire chiefs statewide showed that 85% of rural fire departments depend entirely on volunteers. Small says there's also expense! Not just the staff, but also the equipment. Small says the average fire engine truck once cost around $400,000. Today he says that same rig can go over a million dollars in expense. That's a lot of money for rural communities to generate. Stephanie Hoff delivers the details.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A lawsuit over California's Proposition 12 is the latest tiff between President Trump and the Golden State. The USDA is forecasting large crops and challenges on the demand front for U.S. row crops. 

The lawsuit takes aim at three California laws, Assembly Bill 1437, Proposition 2 and Proposition 12, which create welfare standards for farm animals and regulate egg production.

Sam is joined this week by two of our own Colorado Resident Hunters; Tim Berges and John Kesler to talk about some of the current hunting and conservation issues Colorado is facing right now.  There is a lot to unpack on this subject and in this episode, specifically 2025 hunting season expectations and game numbers, upcoming 2028 draw changes and what to do with your accrued points between now and then, the "Stop the Wolf" project to end the wolf reintroduction, and much more.  The guys also discuss a new measure; "Initiative 98" coming to light in Colorado, that if gained traction could have a bigger impact on hunting in Colorado than Proposition 127 EVER would have.  It doesn't matter where you live or where you hunt, you need to listen to what these guys have to say and pay attention to what is happening on the conservation battlefield right now. Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)Bear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/)Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

I'm still fucking sick, and consume about 17 cough drops throughout this episode. The Los Angeles Insurrection, and my growing and almost unquantifiable contempt for this place and the people in charge of it. A couple more things about Harley Flanagan and the Cro Mags (sorry) I try to get you to appreciate the movie “Green Book,” and I went to see The Proposition with the director and cast there live. (Sort of) I also saw Dogma, the old Kevin Smith movie that is having a limited national re-release.
