On this edition of KBOO News in Depth: 

KBOO's Ivonne Rivero speaks with PCUN Executive Director Reyna Lopez, Oregon's farmworkers union, about the third 'Day Without An Immigrant' strike on February 16th, and the union's priorities in Oregon's short legislative session. 

Then, KBOO's Althea Billings speaks with Daniel Hauser, Deputy Director at the Oregon Center for Public Policy about SB 1507, which would disconnect Oregon's tax code from a few of the tax breaks passed at the federal level last year. It comes at tough budget moment for the state, with those tax breaks seriously reducing revenue for state programs.
