Valley Edition - March 20, 2018 - Drinking Water Bill; Madera County Controversy; Benjamin Boone

KVPR | By Joe Moore
Published March 20, 2018 at 12:49 PM PDT

This week on Valley Edition, we learn about the controversy over a new bill that some say is a solution to getting valley residents clean drinking water, but others say is an unfair water tax. We also learn about the ongoing fight between Madera County District Attorney David Linn and the Madera County Board of Supervisors. Plus valley jazz artist Benjamin Boone joins us to talk about his new recording with the late poet Philip Levine, feature Levine's poems and some of the world's top jazz stars.
