Local economists break down impact of GOP tax plan on Southern Californians and LA housing market

The Republican tax plan has significant implications for Californians.

Larry discusses these issues and more with economists Robert Kleinhenz and Jerry Nickelsburg.

Guests:

Robert Kleinhenz, economist and executive director of research at Beacon Economics

Jerry Nickelsburg, director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast and professor of economics
