Tune in at 1 p.m. today to catch Voice of OC Editor-in-Chief Norberto Santana Jr. chatting with Rick Reiff’s SoCal Insider show on PBS SoCal.

Today’s topics include:

  • Strange bedfellows on pension reform. GOP backs Gov. Brown’s reform package, Dems don’t. Why? What’s the guv to do? Does he really intend to do anything?
  • Mountain lion. State Fish & Game board prez under fire for hunting down a mountain lion in Idaho. Hey, it’s legal (there, not here). Are Dem lawmakers rightfully angry or don’t they have better things to worry about?
  • Anaheim loses Sacramento Kings bid. Some say it’s time for Anaheim to give it up, the NBA ain’t gonna happen.
  • Gas prices — it ain’t Obama’s fault! Or is it? Didn’t Dems blame Bush? Now it’s “speculators?” Really?
