For a break from infrastructure bonds and campaign maneuvers, I recommend some of the coverage from this weekend's newsmagazine edition of The California Report.

Following a week of protests in California over the issue of illegal immigration-- based on action taken this week in the House of Representatives-- host Scott Shafer speaks with Deena Bunis of the Orange County Register's DC bureau about how the issue is likely to play out next week on Capitol Hill.

Also, an interesting look at one idea for alternate transportation to avoid the traffic jams on I-15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The idea: a magnetic levitation train, the focus of a $45 million congressionally authorized study. The train, say its backers, could get you from Disneyland to Sin City in only 90 minutes.

Show times and the actual audio (later today) can be found here.

Enjoy the weekend.
