Homeless Count, Dental Clinics, And Hazardous Waste
A 94.9FM radio clip from The Conversation hosted by Ross Reynolds talking about the homeless count, dental clinics and the hazardous waste clean-up fund.
Overnight Homeless Count Is In: Last night volunteers went all over King County to do a one–night count of homeless people. Alison Eisinger is the executive director of the Seattle King County Coalition on Homelessness. She'll tell us what they found.
Low Income Dental Clinics To Close: Two dental clinics serving low–income residents on the Olympic Peninsula are shutting their doors next month. Why? State budget cuts and higher Medicaid costs. Tim Hockett is the executive director of the group that operates the clinics. He joins us.
State Raids Hazardous Waste Clean-Up Fund: A provision in this year's supplemental budget has environmentalists howling. The House took $17 million out of something called the Local Toxic Accounts fund, which is used to clean up hazardous waste. We'll talk to the The Nature Conservancy.
