Host Geoff Norcross talks with OPB senior political reporter Jeff Mapes, OPB Capital reporter Chris Lehman, and Laura Gunderson, editorial pages editor at The Oregonian.

We discuss the $100 million settlement between Oracle and the state over Cover Oregon and a shakeup in staffing for Governor Kate Brown's reelection campaign. We hear about the possible impact of the Motor Voter law on the election.

And we have a little fun at our state's expense, with our "That's So Oregon" segment.
