Sac County Stops Water Deliveries to Homeless Encampments

This stoppage came at the start of a severe heat wave which has seen temperatures reach the triple-digits, and already led to the death of at least one person. Reporter Theresa Clift covers homelessness for the Sacramento Bee and joins Insight to talk about why the deliveries have stopped, and what can be done to protect the county’s most vulnerable residents.
