Chair of the Orange County Board of Commissioner Jamezetta Bedford joined 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell on Wednesday, June 11. Coming from an event celebrating some residents in Durham, she details recent and upcoming community events — like a Gun Violence Awareness Month rally and the county’s Juneteenth celebration. Bedford also discussed the board’s recent meetings — including a long night for the commissioners on Tuesday and their property revaluation process discussion on June 3. With an advocacy group pointing out how historically Black communities are disproportionately valued compared to wealthier neighborhoods, she shared how the county government is looking for some third-party help to review the data in the short-term and potentially enhance how the tax office approaches the revaluation cycles.
