This week’s livestream covers a range of topics, including Chris Castleman's interactions with a homeless individual camping on school district property, concerns about Southwestern Oregon Community College's hiring practices and response to public criticism, and Chris's decisions to run for positions on the school board and college board.

Lakeside, Oregon is a small town facing big problems - from homelessness and public safety to aging infrastructure. But Mayor Nikki Wood is leading the charge to find solutions, collaborating with county, state, and federal partners to tackle these complex issues. In a recent interview, she shared the realities of governing a rural community with limited resources, and her vision for making Lakeside a safer, more vibrant place.

This week we continue our discussion of the Lakeside encampments with special guest Sara Coats who has been helping clean up the trash and abandoned RVs. We also showed more interviews with the folks who have been living in the encampments for years.

This week we show footage from our tour of the Lakeside encampments and an interview with one of the long term "residents".
