Notable quote: “What I really like to do is to do everything we can to promote our economic development and bring new businesses into town and create jobs here in Winters so people don’t have to drive out of town so much to work. There are a lot of people who live here and work out of town. Things changed with COVID obviously, a lot more people are working from home now. One of the other things that we’re trying to focus more on is trying to make sure we have good broadband services throughout the community. We have parts of the community that have good service and other parts that we still need to improve.” (Source: Daily Democrat interview with Bill Biasi, May 10, 2023)
