In this week’s edition, Richland Source Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell and reporter Grace McCormick chat with Ontario Mayor Kris Knapp, who recently marked his sixth month in office.

Knapp provides an update on the expected arrival of Raising Cane’s restaurant, the city’s comprehensive plan, the development of the former General Motors factory website and more.

Hunnell is also joined by Executive Producer Zac Hiser and videographer Grant Ritchey to talk about the news of the day, including Mansfield native and St. Peter’s High School graduate Matthew Failor competing in the Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race in Alaska; new security cameras at sites in Madison Township; a new autonomous emergency forces drone in Mansfield; and a “negotiations picket” by members of AFSCME Local 3088, representing 150 workers in the City of Mansfield.
