Oroville Dam Crisis and Butte Politics w/Bill Connelly, Butte County Supervisor

Butte County Board of Supervisor Bill Connelly joins Mike and Aaron in the studio to talk about the ongoing troubles with the Oroville Dam (which sits in his district), his work to get safety improvements on dangerous sections of Highway 70 as well as his views on the 2018 state of marijuana laws in the county. Connelly answers a few of NorCal News Now's patented curveball questions... the ones geared to getting behind politician's polished answers... and reveals the politician he admires most (it's not one you'll guess) as well as a self-assessment of his temperament in office. You won't want to miss his fiery opinions of the California Department of Water Resources or his recounting of how the emergency evacuation resulting form the Oroville Dam crisis effected him and his elderly parents.
