Synopsis

Last week, Governor Kate Brown fired the head of the Oregon Employment Department. Logistical and technical difficulties have led to tens of thousands of Oregonians waiting months for unemployment benefits to come through. The state has at least 200,000 unpaid jobless claims on file. Interim Director David Gerstenfeld joins us to talk about what the agency will do differently.
