California's June primary, usually considered too late to make a difference in national races, could be critical this year. Scott Shafer, KQED's California Politics and Government senior editor, talks about the results of a poll released this week by the Public Policy Institute of California.

Legislating Food Waste
Americans throw out up to 40 percent of their food, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic.
