As the caller mentioned, they, uh, uh, targeting Congressman Kiley and, um, when he moved to District 6, I stepped up because I feel like the rural voices need to be represented.

And, and to answer your question, yes, all of Nevada County, where I live-

Okay.

All of Nevada you get.

Very happy to have in studio, uh, the honorable Rob Tucker-

[laughs]

... uh, Nevada County supervisor and candidate for the third congressional district.

Mr.

Of course.

It wasn't an asylum, but it was built in 1860 as the Nevada County Hospital, and then it's, it was in business for a while, until t- in 2001, a disturbed former patient came back with a gun and killed a bunch of people at the hospital.

Oh, wow.

And then it was shut down, and now it currently sits out there.

I don't even know what was going on in there, but the whole vibe was very, very creepy.

So I'd love to be in there someday.

But yeah, the Nevada County abandoned-

Interesting

Three reports have been published about this avalanche from Tahoe, and they do not fully agree.

Nevada County is investigating whether criminal negligence was involved, and this week, six months to the day, California's deadline to issue workplace safety ci-citations has arrived.

That's sort of the Cal OSHA situation.

There is one question underneath all of it, and it's what this episode is about.

Taking one step away from the real experience that, that we've been trying to sort of understand, and now there's all these, you know, there's been three reports written about it.

There's investigations going on.

And Nevada County, which is the county this avalanche happened in, is even investigating criminal negligence.

Cal OSHA, which is sort of the occupational safety organization, their six-month deadline to issue citations is this week, week.

You know, they don't need to make a three-hour drive.

And so ultimately, our region covers Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, and El Dorado County, as well as Nevada County, and we're connecting the leaders, the organizations, and the resources for this common cause.

So collaboration's a buzzword.

You've probably had some presentat- uh, presentations before at your Rotary Club that talked about the power of collaboration.

Yay.

Yeah, I was in Nevada County.

Okay.
