The California Target Book’s Marva Diaz joins NFIB State Director John Kabateck for a podcast discussion

Ask any legislator, staff member, lobbyist, business, labor, or association leader to name the one indispensable source of information on California politics and public policy, and almost unanimously, he or she will respond, the California Target Book.

Marva Diaz, an editor of the nonpartisan Target Book, joined NFIB California State Director John Kabateck for a look at the November ballot propositions most impactful for small business.

This is the third in a series of podcasts NFIB is producing thanks to the generous support of the California Tax and Budget Research Project. The first podcast discussed Paycheck Protection Program loans with one of the state’s most influential bankers and the second podcast looked deeply into Proposition 15, the split roll property tax initiative.
