Kousser is one of the experts involved in California Choices,  a  comprehensive nonpartisan website that voters can go to for information on statewide initiatives.

“California Choices is designed to help voters make informed decisions,” Kousser said. “We can’t decide the future of our state based on 30-second commercials. If the initiative process is truly to give power to the people, then people need in-depth, unbiased information at their fingertips – on their laptops, their tablets and smartphones.” 

This event is free and open to the public. RSVP on Facebook facebook.com/events/383775868357928/.
