Description
A homeless services provider on the verge of shutting down could owe Multnomah County millions of dollars, and Mayor Keith Wilson’s home-sharing pilot program that pays Portland homeowners to take on roommates is surprisingly not popular. Plus, we weigh in on Portland’s pettiest gripes. We also remember a fantastic reporter and frequent guest, Zane Sparling. Joining City Cast Portland host Claudia Meza are KBOO news director Althea Billings and our very own executive producer, John Notarianni.
