    To reduce overcrowding in state prisons, counties are now required to take charge of parolees, recent convicts and those newly accused of non-serious, nonviolent, non-sex-related offenses. LA County will get the lions' share, starting the first of October. Will the state provide extra money? Does the County have a real plan? Also, LA Democrat Karen Bass hosts a traveling jobs fair for the Congressional Black Caucus. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, FEMA, disaster relief and the politics of climate change.
