INTERVIEW: UC REGENT, “LATINO CAUCUS DEMANDS POLICY CHANGES OR NO BUDGET” 

 

University of California Regent Ward Connerly, who chairs the Audit Committee, describes to Full Disclosure Network®   how Regents conduct oversight and formulate policies of governance over the multi-billion dollar state funded budget of the University system. This is the first Full Disclosure Network® program to be cablecast on Access Sacramento Channel #74 (Thursday, July 11th at 8 p.m.)   The Sacramento cable channel is the newest addition to the Full Disclosure Network®  which for the last ten years has been seen on some 40 cable systems in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura,  San Luis Obispo and now Sacramento Counties.

 

Connerly, told Full Disclosure Network® host Leslie Dutton that UC Regents are often threatened by the “Latino Caucus” of the California Legislature.  He said members of the caucus demand that the Regents approve certain policies, at least one of which was deemed to be illegal, or they threaten to  block approval for the University’s budget.

Leslie Dutton, executive producer and host of the Marina del Rey based FULL DISCLOSURE program said, “After a ten year struggle I finally feel I have been invited to the ball.   It is certainly gratifying to be honored with an Emmy nomination.”  “Full Disclosure Network® , is unique and the topics, guests, and in-depth interviews presented are not available on other local television channels”, she said.
