How a small Oregon town fell into financial ruin

OPB reporters recently spent months looking into Lakeview, a tiny southern Oregon town with huge financial problems. They were interested in what went wrong in Lakeview, and what lessons the town could offer other places facing similar dynamics. OPB’s podcast The Evergreen just dropped an entire episode looking at this, and it’s so good, we’re putting it in your Politics Now feed this week.

"OPB Politics Now" is a weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into the hottest political topics in Oregon and the Northwest. Every Friday, OPB’s political reporters and special guests offer in-depth analysis, discussion and insight into candidates, events and issues.
