Host Geoff Norcross talks with OPB Senior Political Reporter Jeff Mapes, Editor Anna Griffin, and Education Reporter Rob Manning. We get some perspective on the news out of the Republican National Convention; we dig into the possible reasons for the sudden retirement announcement from Portland Public Schools Superintendent Carole Smith; and we learn about the plethora of candidates on Washington state’s ballot. As always, we also highlight some quintessential Oregon stories of the week with That’s So Oregon!
