Title
"Mark Hemstreet" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on Mark Hemstreet, owner of Shiloh Inns. According to AuCoin, Hemstreet organized a group of wealthy, anti-government businessmen to help elect "reactionary," pro-tax cut candidates to the Oregon state legislature. AuCoin states that Hemstreet then lobbied Congress for massive federal spending to stimulate the economy, including a year-long moratorium for businesses and individuals. AuCoin asserts that the actions of Hemstreet reveal the "enlightened self-interest that animates many conservatives." This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2002.
