Hello and happy Tuesday. Right off the bat, I want to apologize for the poor audio quality of this podcast. It was recorded in my office with good equipment, but there must be some kind of operator (me) error occurring. It’s still very listenable, but sounds like Christine and I are talking in a tin can. I have tech support coming out to the “studio” this week to fix what ails me. My apologies.

That said, it was good to get Christine Drazan’s take on the big problems like housing prices and drugs facing Oregon and how her new group, A New Direction, is working to give a voice to Oregonians often left out of the Salem decision-making process.

Hope you enjoy!

Jeff
