Shouting match erupts at county board over illegal rural building
A heated board session in Willits sparked a hallway shouting match between Sylvandale residents Chris Conneau and Steve Kovner after Conneau accused Kovner of illegal subdivision and non code construction. Kovner denied subdividing, claimed joint tenancy, and said reporters were told of widespread illegal building. The board ordered the building department to investigate and report to the district attorney.
