Valley Edition: June 13 - Bikes In Wilderness Areas; Ivan Penn; Fresno Philharmonic

Valley Public Radio

This week on Valley Edition our team reports about a bill that if becomes law would allow bikes in wilderness areas and about Medi-Cal Rates in the Valley.  Later we hear from the LA Times' Ivan Penn about his story on a Central Valley power plant shutting down. We also hear about a new book that documents farmworkers' oral histories. And ending the program we learn more about the new Fresno Philharmonic conductor.
