  • Oregon D.O.G.E. is a no-nonsense podcast that pulls back the curtain on Oregon’s government, policies, and spending. With a rotating cast of legislators and policy experts, this podcast exposes wasteful spending, bureaucratic overreach, and hidden inefficiencies that impact Oregonians every day.

    From the state budget crisis to agencies creating rules without oversight, Oregon D.O.G.E. takes a deep dive into the policies shaping Oregon’s future. Whether it’s out-of-control taxes, reckless regulations, or the growing power of unelected bureaucrats, we ask the tough questions and hold government accountable.

  • Oregon Youth Authority: $550M, Scandals, and Zero Accountability?

    Oregon Youth Authority: $550M, Scandals, and Zero Accountability?
    Apr 29 2025

    Is Oregon’s youth justice system protecting anyone?

    In this episode of Oregon D.O.G.E., Sen. Mike McLane, Rep. Jeff Helfrich, and Mack Smith examine the collapse of the Oregon Youth Authority. With 3,000+ ignored abuse complaints, DEI-influenced hiring gone wrong, and a $51 million lawsuit pending, the system meant to protect vulnerable kids is now under fire from all sides.

    Topics covered:

    • How DEI duties took precedence over abuse investigations
    • Internal concerns ignored for years
    • A director fired too late—and accountability still lacking
    • Oregon’s lack of independent investigative oversight
    • $550M in funding—and almost no transparency

    $22 Billion, 11,000 Employees… Still Ranked Last in Mental Health?
    Apr 29 2025

    Oregon’s Department of Human Services (DHS) now commands over $22 billion every two years. But with that size comes dysfunction.

    In this episode of Oregon D.O.G.E., host Senator Daniel Bonham is joined by Senator Diane Linthicum, Rep. Ed Diehl, and analyst Alex Lopez to examine whether DHS is still serving Oregonians—or just expanding itself.

    🎯 Topics covered:

    • 14.2% budget increase while rural Oregon is still ignored
    • 62,000 pages of regulation confusing providers and families
    • Millions in DEI spending, lawsuits, and leadership bloat
    • A billion spent on non-citizen coverage, while veterans wait
    • $155M unionization effort with zero added caregivers
    • A foster care system failing kids while spending skyrockets

    Lawmakers ask: Is this about people—or policy gone rogue?

    Apr 21 2025

    In this episode of Oregon D.O.G.E., lawmakers dig into one of Oregon’s most powerful and controversial agencies: the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).

    Senator Daniel Bonham, Rep. Greg Smith, and Senator David Brock Smith walk through:

    • DEQ’s $800M+ budget, with 42% based on regulatory fees
    • 8,200+ pages of rules, many created without legislative approval
    • A federal DEI lawsuit that could cost Oregon millions
    • How DEQ’s policies drive up energy, construction, and consumer costs
    • Oregon’s Climate Protection Program, and the nonprofit funneling climate money with ties to political activism

    Whether it’s zero-emission mandates, shrinking business incentives, or runaway bureaucracy, lawmakers ask: Who’s holding DEQ accountable?
