Think Out Loud

An Oregon Court of Appeals ruling invalidated the 2016 Damascus disincorporation vote. The ruling has divided the small rural community, and left a host of legal and logistical questions in its wake. The plaintiff, Jim De Young, a former city councilor and others are meeting to try to figure out the way forward. On yesterday’s show we heard from Chris Hawes, one of the leaders of the campaign to disincorporate. Today we’re joined by Jim De Young, who has just been selected as the mayor of the city by a newly formed city council.
