Manage episode 485248073 series 3655805
This Oregon D.O.G.E. episode is a behind-the-scenes exposé on how laws are made — and twisted — in Salem. Senators Daniel Bonham, David Brock Smith, and Mike McLane reveal how placeholder bills, gut-and-stuff amendments, and quiet conflicts of interest dominate the state Capitol. From billions in untracked spending to sanctuary state fallout and legislative hypocrisy, this episode explains why Oregon's government feels so broken — and what it will take to fix it.
