Description

This week, we’re looking into the latest court maneuvering over troop deployments to Portland and the government shutdown's impact on SNAP benefits in Oregon. We’re also breaking down the arguments for and against the Portland parks ballot measure, as well as checking in on endorsements it’s racked up. Joining host Claudia Meza on this midweek roundup are Stumptown Savings founder Bryan M. Vance and our very own executive producer, John Notarianni.
