State Controller Candidate Betty Yee on Valley Edition

http://bettyyee.com/

In a year when the lack of women in California politics has become a major theme in the November election, the state controller’s race is an exception, with San Francisco Democrat Betty Yee facing Fresno’s Ashley Swearengin. While the Fresno mayor is a familiar name to many valley residents, Yee is perhaps less well known in Central California. A former finance official in the administration of Governor Gray Davis, she currently sits on the state tax board. We recently spoke with Yee about her career and campaign to be the state’s top fiscal watchdog.
