On this edition of KBOO News in Depth: 

KBOO's Althea Billings speaks with Daniel Hauser, Deputy Director at the Oregon Center for Public Policy about SB 1507, which would disconnect Oregon's tax code from a few of the tax breaks passed at the federal level last year. It comes at tough budget moment for the state, with those tax breaks seriously reducing revenue for state programs. 

Then, it's the Global Citizen International Digest, with Portland State Professor Emeritus Mel Gurtov, critical international commentary from a human interest lens.
