Vehicle License Fee Increase; Better Parenting
Vehicle License Fee Increase
Hold on to your seatbelts, your vehicle license fee is about to triple. California's Department of Finance says state law mandates the fee increase because of the budget crisis. Conservative lawmakers say that's just not true, and they vow to fight it, saying it's an unfair burden on California's middle class. Join Larry Mantle as he talks with Assemblyman Tom McClintock, who opposes the tax and is leading a fight to repeal it, and Chief Bill Brown, California Police Association, 2nd Vice President from Lompoc, who supports the VLF increase.

Larry Mantle talks with UCLA Parenting Experts, Daniel Siegel and Mary Hartzell, about how we can be better parents. Their new book, Parenting From the Inside Out: How a Deeper Self-Understanding Can Help You Raise Children Who Thrive (Tarcher/Putnam). It explores the extent to which our own childhood experiences shape the way we parent, and offers a step-by-step approach on how parents can gain a greater self-understanding and raise compassionate, resilient children.
