Good evening,
- Sue Kesey, the driving force behind Springfield Creamery and the Nancy’s yogurt brand, died yesterday at age 86.
- OK, here’s a complicated mess for you. Lane County contracts with a third-party company to provide medical services at the county jail — to the tune of some $26 million over four years. Both the county and the contractor have been sued by the family of a woman who died after being booked into the jail 2-1/2 years ago. Now the medical services company, Wellpath, is in bankruptcy, and says the case should be thrown out. That’s just the beginning. Jaime Adame has been working to sort this out for you.
- That little bit of rain the other day didn’t get us off the hook. There’s a fire weather watch going into effect later this week as the forecast calls for warm, breezy weather.
