Chair of the Orange County Commissioners Jamezetta Bedford joins 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck on Wednesday, September 27, a day after a joint meeting between county commissioners and Orange County’s two school boards. Bedford says they got some sobering numbers about capital needs for the two school districts, though at least the looming federal shutdown is not projected to have a significant impact. Also: Bedford reacts to recent state legislation, including a provision in the state budget allowing lawmakers to circumvent public records laws – and she shares details about the impact of Medicaid expansion, which will bring health coverage to about 6,000 residents in Orange County alone.
