This week, Oso Town Council President Richard Skaggs and Vice President Gerard Conroy welcomed the Inspector General of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, retired) to Hiker Town. Bill A. Roderick, an avid hiker, spent several days enjoying the Pacific Crest Trail. We are pleased Bill is taking a personal interest in consulting in protecting and maintaining our treasured communities. We look forward to Bill’s next visit. —By Gerard Conroy
