Episode Synopsis
This week's guest is Jack Hoffman, former mayor of Lake Oswego, OR (2009-2013).

He also examines what he believes is necessary for these powerful feelings to be reduced and for local elected officials to establish trust and connection with the people they represent.This episode features "Cocaine Blues," an early-20th century song of uncertain origin, recorded by Craig Bradford.
