Description:

A new months-long investigation by KPBS follows the money going to some county supervisors' offices.


It finds some tapped influential companies, associations and individuals for monetary gifts. Some of the entities had business before the county at the time. We discuss the details.


Plus, we explore whether the melting pot metaphor is accurate in the U.S. today ahead of its 250th anniversary.


Plus, "Local News Day," a national effort to highlight the work of local newsrooms, was this week.


We sit down with three local storytellers to discuss their community-oriented approach to journalism.
