National Public Radio is producing a special series on budget and policy challenges facing California, which will air all next week on public radio station KHSU-FM. The series is tentatively being called "California in Crisis."

The segments will begin Monday, July 13, and continue through Thursday. Topics will range from “ballot box budgets” to “Ungovernable California” and “Arnold’s legacy.”

The special coverage reflects growing national interest in California’s inability to adopt a budget in the face of a $26.3 billion budget gap.

Specific times for the segments are not yet available, but they are scheduled for Morning Edition, which airs locally from 6 to 9 a.m. weekdays, and All Things Considered, which airs 5 to 7 p.m. weekdays. For more information, visit the shows’ websites at npr.org by selecting “programs.”

KHSU is a community-supported public radio station that is licensed to, and supported by, Humboldt State University.

KHSU can be heard around Humboldt Bay and beyond at 90.5 FM as well as KHSR-FM 91.9 in Crescent City-Brookings. There are also three translators: 88.7 FM in Ferndale-Fortuna, 89.7 FM in Garberville, and 99.7 FM in Willow Creek.
