Portland’s Costly Failure to Enforce Parking Laws, a City Councilor Faces a Public Records Fight, and and a GOP Ad’s Portland Mix-Up

We're talking about how an ad for a U.S. Senate race in Maine ended up in Oregon, and how a lawsuit could affect our city's curb and parking laws. Plus, why Multnomah County Circuit Court is ordering City Councilor Dan Ryan to preserve all of his phone records. Joining host Claudia Meza are Bryan M. Vance, founder of Stumptown Savings – your friendly neighborhood grocery economy newsletter — and our very own senior producer Giulia Fiaoni.
