This week, we’re looking into how a Supreme Court decision regarding Mississippi’s elections could impact Oregon and a potential ballot initiative hoping to reallocate 25% of city climate tax revenues to hiring more police officers. Plus, there’s a City Hall proposal to ban rent-setting algorithms from being used in Portland. Joining host Claudia Meza on this week’s Friday news roundup are KBOO news director Althea Billings and our very own executive producer, John Notarianni.
