The episode discusses campaign finance records related to Congressman Juan Vargas, a lawsuit against Poway, pollution in San Diego County, and an art exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

First, Congressman Juan Vargas said “AIPAC has never given me a penny,” but a look into campaign finance records says otherwise. Also, Poway is being sued by both the state and a local tribe over a housing development project. Including, a new report by the American Lung Association says that San Diego County is among the most polluted counties in America. Then, another installation of the Pod Behind the Package centered around Giants, an art exhibit that recently landed at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
