Welcome Post-Grads

My first honest job upon graduation from UC Student Lobby after 3 years of work for curiosity sake was for the California Cast Metals Association analyzing 20 years of California Tort Reform movements. My study, the one I crafted, was money flow to political players and to interest groups on every side of the issue. Job was contract. It ended and I took a gig going door to with CalPIRG on a summer canvass and breezed into town when the Sacramento gig ended.

So when I ran across this heat map I delighted in the visual data.
