The Portland Diamond Project is trying to bring Major League Baseball to Portland. What questions do we need to be asking as this effort moves forward? Is there a path for baseball in Portland that enriches our entire community? (And not just a few people with deep pockets.)
In this episode we talk to John Horvick of DHM Research for our segment "The Margins" about how Oregonians feel about financing sports stadiums. Then we'll talk to Marcelino Alvarez and Devon Pouncey about what's happening with baseball in Portland right now.

Homelessness is again on the rise in Portland. Are Portlanders ready to rise to the challenge? And what is the street response plan Street Roots proposed recently and that's currently in Mayor Wheeler's budget?
In this episode, we'll hear from John Horvick of DHM Research as part of our recurring segment "The Margins," which looks at what Oregonians really think about the issues. We'll then talk to Emily Green from Street Roots and Tremaine Clayton of the Portland Fire and Rescue's CHAT program about how to fix Portland's chaotic and ineffective approach to calls for "unwanted persons" and other incidents involving homeless people.

For more than 100 years, Portland's commission form of government has been inequitable, inefficient, and ineffective. City Club's new research report recommends that Portlanders rethink our system of government.
In this episode of "Next at the Mic," Dan Rivas talks to Ken Fairfax and Christopher Bacher, two of the researchers who produced City Club's new report. He also digs into the Portland Business Alliance's recent survey data on Portlanders' attitudes toward district representation with John Horvick from DHM Research.
