This week on the Accountability Podcast, we're taking a hard look at a pressing issue that's been plaguing the community of Imperial Beach for decades. The Tijuana River Valley, a 1,750-square-mile watershed, has been dumping raw sewage and toxic chemicals into the ocean, affecting the health and livelihoods of those living in the area. Joining us to discuss this critical issue are Mike Netter, a candidate for state senate in the San Gabriel Valley, and Steve Barry, a candidate for city council in Imperial Beach.

Our guests share their personal experiences and insights, highlighting the devastating impact of the sewage crisis on the local community. From the economic effects on businesses and homeowners to the health risks for residents, the discussion is a wake-up call for those in power to take action.
