1.19.11 Charlottesville Mayor Dave Norris and Senior Editor of The Hook Hawes Spencer join Coy to discuss breaking news no the water supply plan. Last night, a motion asking for a brand new dam at Ragged Mountain passed in the Charlottesville City Council meeting.

Norris expresses his views on the needs for both city and county, and he also takes stock of the current situation. The ability to phase in the new approach is the question facing the Mayor’s ideas for renovation, but he feels the balance of low cost and low environmental impact should be enough reason to continue studying a better way.
