Controversy Rocks the Governor's Race, Illegal Rat Dumping, and Good News Friday

There's some new drama in the governor's race after allegations surfaced that Attorney General Aaron Ford sought to pardon a pregnant woman's killer, but there's more to the story than that. We unpack what actually happened and how it could impact Ford’s chances in the race for governor. In some off-the-wall news, somebody illegally dumped rats near a Boulder City park this week, which got us wondering: does Las Vegas have a dumping problem? Good News Friday returns with reasons to visit Lee Canyon, a nod to Las Vegas' literary moment, and the Arts District standing up for its artists. And in our members-only bonus segment, we explain why Henderson might actually be cool now. Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with criminal defense attorney Dayvid Figler and Executive Producer Layla Muhammad.
