And so from that point forward I did not have a varying, uh, career path.

It was all about getting into broadcasting, um, getting into radio and just pursuing that.

And, uh, and so I, that's what I did.

I, I went to school.

I, I did internships.

I hung out at stations for free for a long period of time until finally, uh, they finally just give you a job.

It gets, it gets old quick, right? Um, but do you feel like this, this fan base has been energized just by this, you know, i- incredible start from, from Legree and Atkinson?

So is this going to be a Portland thing, a state of Oregon thing? Where is this money coming from, and is it going to take a referendum to make it happen?

no it's already been approved it's coming from three different areas it's coming from the state the city and the county the state and the city have already approved the funding so now it's just only the county which is a smaller portion of the total package that's going to come in and so now the only thing that's left is the city council to approve their portion and then once it's done you'll have all three the state the city and the county on the same page The governor's already signed off on it, as has the mayor.

So now it's up to the council to get it done to improve the entire package.

And so it's really close to being done.

But we have an expanded council, I think, of 12 members.

And, of course, anytime bureaucracy and you've got council members are trying to appeal to their constituents, so it gets a little bit messy and drawn out like you would expect the bureaucracy to do.

But, yeah, once the county approves, then you'll have all three on board between state, city, and council.

So where is the disconnect between one side of the argument and the other side of the argument?
