Landowners approve funding Tuscan Water District | Update on Feather River Adventist School shooting victim | California trucks, trains no longer required to be carbon free

The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Thursday, Jan. 16.

In today’s episode:

Landowners in the recently formed Tuscan Water District have approved an assessment fee to fund the district’s operations. The vote took place yesterday after more than two hours of heated discussion.

Also, five-year-old Elias Wolford is now able to sit up on his own and has begun physical therapy after being shot at Feather River Adventist School in Oroville last month.

Plus, California is abandoning its noncarbon fuel mandates for diesel trucks and locomotives in anticipation they’ll be challenged by the incoming Trump Administration.

Ken came to NSPR through the back door as a volunteer, doing all the things that volunteers do. Almost nothing – nothing -- in his previous work experience suggests that he would ever be on public radio.
