On this episode of The Gap, Tammy and Althea dig in to local goings-on for your listening pleasure (never mind the allergies). We talk about the future of Portland Street Response, a bureaucratic spat between Commissioners Rubio and Gonzalez, and Governor Kotek consulting the ethics commission on what to do about her wife being in the office. People let us not cut off our nose to spite our face! What would the Portland version of that be? Something about cutting off the bridges to spite the commuters maybe?
We also mention two important developing stories for you to keep an eye on: A new camping ban after the last one was blocked, and Oregon asylum seekers will be out on the streets because government decision makers are sitting on their hands.
Then, for our Community Question, we ask you, how do you pull the threads of your curiosity? We're getting curious about chewing oysters, personal biases, and setting crosswords! Thank you to everyone who called and messaged us on this topic!
