Last night the Courage Campaign was proud to host a conference call with Assembly Speaker Karen Bass and soon-to-be Senate Pro-Tem Darrell Steinberg. They took a couple dozen questions from our members on a wide range of questions, though spent much of their time talking about both short and long-term solutions to the budget crisis.

The conference call was part of the ongoing series of "Courage Campaign Conversations", where notable authors and leaders join Courage Campaign members in a lively discussion. Two weeks ago we had the pleasure of talking with Arianna Huffington and hosted Secretary of State Debra Bowen earlier this year.

We recorded the call with Steinberg and Bass so that anyone who was unable to make the call, could have a chance to hear from our new legislative leaders. Click to stream the audio. The call lasted about an hour.
