10/31/09 - The California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley: A Status Report

In the summer of 2005, Gov. Schwarzenegger signed an Executive Order establishing the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley. The Partnership was an unprecedented effort to focus attention on the needs of the San Joaquin Valley by bringing together public and private leaders and resources to address the top challenges faced by the region—from air quality, to economic development to water. The goal of the Partnership was, among other things to "…identify projects and programs that will best utilize public dollars and most quickly improve the economic vitality of the Valley… and recommend to the Governor changes that would improve the economic well-being of the Valley and the quality of life of its residents." The result was a Strategic Plan for the Valley that, according to one veteran political reporter, "was an historic achievement." But will the Strategic Plan—with over 150 specific actions that address the critical challenges facing our region—actually happen? Mike Dozier, the lead executive of the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley is our guest. Is the Partnership's Plan just "another government study"—or are we witnessing something historic here?

This week on etown - 11/7/09:
eTown travels to the historic Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder, in celebration of their 'Grand Convergence' conference to tape this special two-part broadcast. Here in Part One, there's an extraordinary performance from folk and pop music legend, Judy Collins. She shares a set of gorgeous songs, some stripped down and others featuring fine accompaniment by Nick & Helen Forster and the Etones, and her long-time pianist and music director, Russell Walden. And Nick's chat with Judy delves deeply into the roots of music and her life as a performer. Also, long-time eTown favorite and reigning queen of folk Shawn Colvin is back, too. And don't miss the interview with our special, 'in person' listener-nominated E-Chievement Award winner: author, educator, and activist, Bill McKibben. There's great stuff here in Part One, and in Part Two airing for you next week, in eTown.
