 Depend on us for local news. Now, from the KBND Newsroom, today's local news with Frank Bonacquisti and Heather Roberts. Governor Tina Kotek says she's directing state agencies to develop a plan to sample Crook County groundwater in response to reports of contaminated wells. U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley blames the heavy metal contamination on the nearby gravel mine. Kotek says water sampling will include independent analysis at local mining sites.
