from KELY 1230AM/98.5 FM News and Commentary · host Wyatt Cox

Joe Hart from KRNV TV-4 in Reno joins us to talk about more breaking developments in the Uprise Fiber Case.  In short, NDOT put up $9 million in matching funds toward a $27 million dollar USDA project to bring Broadband to rural Lovelock.  But as Joe has been following the money...disappeared into Uprise Fiber CEO Stephen Kromer's bank account.  After weeks upon weeks of Joe's investigation and sealed lips from almost everyone in Carson City, Attorney General Aaron Ford finally announced charges against Kromer on Friday morning.  Shortly afterwards, Kromer turned himself in. Joe recaps the story, along with breaking news from Interim US Attorney Sigal Chattah on her investigation into the case from the Federal end.  Up until today, Joe Hart has been the only one to stay on top of this story, and except for KRNV (And us), this story has been radio silent across the state!
