Eviction Representation for All: Economist Mary King speaks with Colleen Carroll, spokesperson for the Eviction Representation for All ballot measure campaign coalition, about how destructive evictions are for families and the community and how the proposed ballot measure could reduce evictions by providing a range of supports including legal representation. The supports would more than pay for themselves through reduced spending on shelters, health care, foster care and other services. They also discuss why the capital gains tax is a good way to fund the program and how to get involved in the campaign for Measure 26-238, which will be on the ballot in May.
