Chair of the Orange County Commissioners Jamezetta Bedford joins 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell on the phone for an interview Wednesday, August 6. Bedford details what (little) she has seen so far in the county’s Uproar Festival of Public Art before digging into the county government’s role in ongoing flood relief across the community. She discusses how Gov. Josh Stein’s recent disaster declaration can help impacted individuals, where residents can get additional emergency resources and what steps the county commissioners will take soon to help with future emergencies.
