Valley Edition - January 10, 2020 - Fresno Gangs, Weed In Woodlake, First Ladies

 

 

 

On this week’s Valley Edition: We visit the Tulare County City of Woodlake where business is booming - specifically the recreational cannabis business. In just two years, the city has raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue.

We also introduce our new show host, Kathleen Schock, who you’ve already heard moderating insightful discussions on this show over the last year. 

This week, she moderates a panel on gang life in Fresno: As details emerge about the mistaken gang retaliation that led to November’s horrific mass shooting in Fresno, we take a look at what drives gangs, and why it’s so hard to get out.  

Listen to those stories and more on the podcast above.
