The new state budget was the focus of KQED’s daily public affairs program Forum this morning, hosted by Michael Krasny.

Senate President pro Tem Don Perata and Senate GOP Leader Dick Ackerman were the featured guests, with further discussion from Steve Maviglio, deputy chief of staff to Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, and Jon Fleischman, publisher of the GOP Flash Report blog.

And yes, some overview of the debate from yours truly.
