They point out that we expect clean and safe water, straight from the tap 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And yet we often take for granted everything that is required to keep clean water flowing through our taps.

Lani is the President of Responsible Solutions, a public affairs firm specializing in advocacy, coalition building and government relations. Danielle is a Senior Account Executive at Manolatos Nelson Murphy Advertising & Public Relations (MNM). MNM services numerous water utility companies, with a focus on development and implementation of effective communications strategies that inspire action and achieve results.

Listen to the latest episode of The MNM Podcast and learn more about how investing in our water system is the right thing to do and is sorely needed.

Our podcast includes an interview with Ginger Hitzke, an affordable housing developer who commutes to work every day from her home in Riverside County to her office in Lemon Grove. She avoids rush hour traffic to avoid spending more than 3 hours a day commuting.

We also spoke with Christopher Dicus, a professor of wildland fire and fuels management at California Polytechnic State University and a former firefighter, because very often housing opponents bring up wildfires as a reason not to build along the I-15 growth and transit corridor. In the last segment, you will hear from MNM’s Dike Anyiwo, Tanya Mannes Castaneda and Tony Manolatos.
