#003—I Hated Taxes

Our guest for this episode is Tyler Wilkins, co-founder and co-director of Participatory Budgeting Oregon (pboregon.org), an organization promoting the adoption of participatory budgeting in Portland and throughout Oregon. Tyler explains what participatory budgeting is and how it can promote civic engagement more broadly. He examines the evolution of his own political perspective and explains how he got from a youthful outrage over taxation to the leadership of an organization that now supports an upcoming tax levy.

This episode features "Home Free," an original song by Frankie Holiday (find her on Facebook and Instagram).
