This week is all about Portland city politics.

Host Geoff Norcross along with Senior Political Reporter Jeff Mapes and reporter Amelia Templeton dig into the Portland Police union contract that sparked protests earlier this week when the City Council voted to approve it.

You'll also hear about one of the more interesting local races on the 2016 ballot between City Commissioner Steve Novick and challenger Chloe Eudaly. And we'll end with some news of the weird with our "That's So Oregon" segment.
