Summary:

Hannah, an administrator in the Michigan state treasury, is faced with the possibility of an exciting new job prospect in California. Hannah's work has garnered the admiration of a number of state politicians, especially Javier, a candidate for controller in California. He is running on a platform of greater education spending and less incarceration, as a key tenet of better state fiscal responsibility. This campaign platform is gaining traction in California and other states. Hannah could be the next chief deputy of policy in the California's controller office if Javier is elected. Although a state controller is not a position in Michigan, Hannah is knowledgeable of the functions and duties of this office, and she is a trusted adviser skilled in working with a governor's office and state legislators to implement progressive policy. Will Javier win in California? Would voters prefer greater spending on education and less incarceration? If so, what reforms can Hannah help implement to realize this vision?
