What this episode covers
On today's episode we were delighted to speak with the realassemblyman himself, former California legislator Bruce Young. Young's Twitter persona "realassemblyman" is an essential follow for those intrigued by California politics. Young, a Willie Brown lieutenant, uses his Twitter account to weigh in on the topics of the day - and yesterday - with knowledge and insights that only a true California political insider could have. We enjoyed a rollicking interview about the realassemblyman account, his adventures in the legislature and Willie Brown's leadership lessons - and he joined us for the wildest "Worst Week in California Politics" conversation we've ever had. Hang on!
