"What is the Purpose of Government?" - OPB Forum

This Wednesday, May 9, Oregon Public Broadcasting's daily radio program, Think Out Loud, is hosting a special show in Grants Pass to discuss the tension between state, local, and federal control of government when it comes to issues like marijuana legalization, logging rights, policing and public education.

We invite you to be a part of our audience, as we gather a number of officials and citizens of Josephine County to answer the question: What is the purpose of government?

Kirk Kolb, superintendent, Grants Pass School District
Pete Gendron, president, Oregon SunGrowers Guild
