The Common Good 12/12/18

Our waterways are some of the most beautiful in the world, and in a time when we see our freeway and road system clogged now more than ever, there's a group of folks in our community working hard to use our river to bridge our two cities and help us be more connected.  Joe's first guest this week is Susan Bladholm, President and Founder of Friends of Frog Ferry, an initiative to provide Ferry service on the Columbia and Willamette rivers.  More information available at www.frogferry.com

Later in the show we'll connect again with our friend Charles Humble, Partnership and Communications Specialist with Tax Aid of Washington State.  The AARP Foundation's Tax Aid offers free tax preparation assistance and we have a group of volunteers dedicated to this effort right here in Vancouver and Portland.  Now in its 50th year, Tax-Aid has helped millions of taxpayers with filing their state and Federal taxes.  And the best part is you don't have to be an AARP member and there's no age requirement to get help.  More information available at www.aarp.org/taxaide
