"What is the Purpose of Government?" - OPB Forum
This Wednesday, May 9, Oregon Public Broadcasting's daily radio program, Think Out Loud, is hosting a special show in Grants Pass to discuss the tension between state, local, and federal control of government when it comes to issues like marijuana legalization, logging rights, policing and public education.
