The Pamplin family name has been significant in Portland for many decades. They’ve been credited for helping build much of what is now our city infrastructure, but also blamed for some of Portland’s ongoing environmental issues and been caught mismanaging pensions.

He’s walking us through the downfall of a family legacy and how it’s impacted our city.
