 KBOO releases the results of a six-month investigation into ALEC influence on Oregon laws
Smart ALEC: Exposing the American Legislative Exchange Council in Oregon is an investigative project of KBOO 90.7 FM Portland, made possible by a grant from the Fund For Investigative Journalism (FIJ).
KBOO Community Radio 90.7 FM was awarded a five thousand dollar grant from the FIJ to conduct an investigation of Oregon legislation which has been influenced or created by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). With this grant, KBOO volunteer investigative reporters reviewed Oregon state legislative activities to uncover ALEC influences on bills introduced in the Oregon state legislature between 2011 and 2014.

 As many already know, the D�a de los Muertos holiday is focused on commemorating family and friends that have died and acknowledging the natural part death plays in the cycle of life. The holiday originated in Mexico, but has expanded over time and is now celebrated throughout the U.S. and beyond. Moscoso has worked on a regular basis with the Miracle Theatre Group on their stunning D�a de los Muertos ofrendas (altars) and RACC is pleased to be able to present his work in the Portland Building. "The altar of the Portland Building commemorates characters, leaders, and visionaries who made their mark in Portland, Oregon. This altar recognizes the work of: Harvey Scott, George Baker, Edgar Kaiser, Henry Richmond, James C. Hawthorne, John Heard Couch, Abigail Scott Duniway, and William Sumio Naito.." - Pepe Moscoso. |
We are very sad to announce the passing of KBOO volunteer Bill Bires
Bill Bires was the co-host of KBOO's Veteran's Voice Program. He was a founding member of Northwest Vets for Peace and a longtime, dedicated peace activist.
Bill was a veteran of the Korean War. He also was an atomic vet. In 1951 his company constructed displays of military equipment and placed them around Ground Zero for the atomic tests in the Nevada desert. After the explosions company members were responsible for hauling away the blasted equipment, filling in the foxholes and emplacements they had constructed, sometimes within hours of the detonation.
Bill and his Veteran's Voice co-host Marvin Simmons participated in countless anti-war activities since the founding of Northwest Vets for Peace in 1990; including marches, demonstrations, talks in high schools and other public settings, conferences and debates.
Bill Bires was a tireless activist for peace. He was also wonderful, generous man and a great supporter of KBOO
