‘OPB Politics Now’: Tom Dundon comes to town as Moda Center takes center stage

The Moda Center has a packed summer lineup with performances by Chance the Rapper, Benson Boone and others. The arena is no longer devoid of basketball in the summer thanks to the triumphant return of the Portland Fire.

But this week, the building is taking center stage for other reasons. Portland Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon is in town for an annual business summit at Moda Center. Meanwhile, city and county leaders discussed the plan to renovate the arena with public cash — there was spiciness. Reporters Lauren Dake, Kyra Buckley and Alex Zielinski discussed all that and more this week on the latest episode of OPB Politics Now.
