Show Notes
Dr. Robert Pamplin Junior faces a staggering $14 million debt to the state of Oregon for neglecting cleanup efforts on the Willamette River in Portland. His company, once a Forbes four hundred list billionaire, is now selling off major assets due to a U.S. Department of Labor order for misusing its pension fund. The cleanup, initially agreed upon in 2002, has been delayed, with the company now facing a $13.9 million fine for delays. Local advocates emphasize the urgency of the cleanup, as the island has become a haven for river campers and toxic algae blooms.
