Episode 18: Stacy Corless

Stacy Corless is the District 5 supervisor for Mono County and past board chair of the Rural County Representatives of California.

What we’ve seen over the last couple of years in a county like Shasta really has been, at its heart, an anti-government movement rooted in cynicism and mistrust of government [and] institutions. I have to say that the majority of county supervisors I’ve met and worked with in this state can’t support that. We got elected to provide services–to stand up for the people in our communities. We didn’t get elected to overthrow the government.
