  • 236 - KZSC_Bushwhacker's_Santa Cruz City Councilmember_Martine Watkins_20241101

    Martine Watkins, City Councilmember in Santa Cruz, California, discusses history of sugar-sweetened beverage tax in Santa Cruz, and how earlier efforts were cut off by passage of the California Keep Groceries Affordable Act, which penalized charter cities who would raise taxes on sugar sweetened beverages. Martine and Cultiva La Salud sued the state, and won in the Third District Court of Appeal, which struck down the Act's penalty provision. On June 25, 2024, the City Council adopted resolution (No. NS-30,360) requesting that the Nov. 5, 2024 General Election ballot include a general tax of 2 cents per fluid ounce on distributors of sugar-sweetened beverages (the 1st 3 "WHEREAS"s were read on the podcast), which the City Council passed unanimously. The "No on Z" campaign has raised approximately $1.7 million, with the "Yes on Z" raising $23,000 - "David vs. Goliath"; follow the money!! Additional Santa Cruz issues discussed.

  • 235 - kzsc_Bushwhacker's_musicians Zoë Aqua, Dmitri Gaskin, and Raffi Boden_20240329 Eastern European Village Music

    Zoë Aqua, Dmitri Gaskin, and Raffi Boden play Klezmer music, in the tradition of Ashkenazi Jewish people from Eastern Europe villages. Dmitri plays accordion and lives on a Watsonville apple farm, Zoë plays violin & recently completed a Fulbright in the Transylvania area of Romania(!), & Raffi lives in Brooklyn and is a full time freelance musician playing in 3-4 Klezmer bands. Zoë also teaches, and Dmitri is an apple farmer. How did they stumble into Klezmer? Good question! Dmitri's parents had Klezmer music CDs when he grew up in Berkeley, California, and legendary Klezmer musician Josh Horowitz moved to the area and became his teacher. Zoë grew up in Denver with a dad interested in Klezmer / Klezmatics / Brave Old World. Raffi's family at Passover pulled out the Klezmer Plus songbook. Raffi joined Zoë & Dmitri 2 days ago!
