Eli Arnold: Local efforts to avoid the re-criminalization of drugs, a beautiful family moment at Portland Pride, city solutions for homelessness, and more

Rational in Portland by Kristin Olson

Episode notes

Eli Arnold is a Portland police officer and a member of Portland's Instagram-famous Portland Police Bureau Central Bike Squad. He is running for Portland City Council in District 4. He stopped back in to tell us why Multnomah County's plan is just an effort to avoid the Oregon legislature's reforming of Measure 110 and the legislature's recent re-criminalization of drugs; a beautiful moment involving his son at the Portland Pride Parade; solutions for homelessness; and what he loves about Portland, including a new food truck.
