Leadership Changes for Portland Police, Ballot Measures Galore, and More - a podcast by Oregon Public Broadcasting

OPB Senior Political Reporter Jeff Mapes, Capitol reporter Chris Lehman and reporter Amelia Templeton join host Geoff Norcross. We dig into why retirement seems to be the new resignation among disgraced local public officials lately — most recently Portland Police Chief Larry O’Dea. We ask what the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the former Virginia governor's corruption conviction could mean for John Kitzhaber. And we look at how the November ballot seems to be shaping up, with a focus on two measures designed to shake up the Democratic political establishment in Oregon. We end with "That’s So Oregon," taking up the hot cannabis real estate market, topographically accurate mountain-shaped candles, and other quintessentially Oregon stories from the week.
