ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
San Diego lost a legend this week.
Billy Ray Smith passed away at 64 after a long journey with dementia. His family said it was caused by Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
On KPBS Roundtable, we remember the iconic San Diego Chargers linebacker and sportscaster with his long-time radio co-host, Scott Kaplan.
Then, we unpack why voters rallied against a union-backed initiative to overhaul local government in Chula Vista.
Plus, how pollution from the Salton Sea is impacting a nearby Little League in Calipatria. And, what high rates of childhood asthma in the region reveal about the problem.
Guests:
- Scott Kaplan, sportscaster and former co-host of "Scott and B.R." on The Mighty 1990
- Jim Hinch, South county reporter, Voice of San Diego
- Zoe Meyers, freelance photo and video journalist
