Henry interviews Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla (11th District, Contra Costa County), head of the assembly budget subcommittee on education finance, about California's education funding crisis. The stakes are clear: if the November ballot initiative (Prop 30) doesn't pass, "over $5 billion in cuts to education." Henry gets right to it: "Cutbacks look to be huge. How bad is the education situation?"
