We speak with Mercury Stardust, also known as the “Trans Handy Ma’am” about how she broke into the home repair industry. She will be a guest at this year’s Queer Housing Summit in Fresno. Plus, the latest news headlines: California is experiencing one of the highest rates of West Nile virus; and what data says about deaths at nearby national parks.
