Hunger and Poverty Growth in Oregon

Hosts Celeste Carey and Cecil Prescod speak with Tyler Mac Innis, Policy Analyst, at the Oregon Center for Public Policy, about recent reports that Oregonians are more likely to live in poverty now than during the Great Recession and how more Oregonians are struggling to put food on the table, even as the economy has been in recovery.

Tyler Mac Innis analyzes state tax and budget policy, including the Earned Income Tax Credit and corporate tax policies. He also analyzes data related to food insecurity and poverty issues. Prior to joining OCPP, Tyler worked in Washington, D.C., monitoring federal agricultural policy, and in Jackson, Mississippi, organizing community leaders to address hunger collaboratively. - See more at: http://www.ocpp.org/staff/#sthash.RVvuO6fj.dpuf
