After a preliminary chat regarding the challenges of interviewing public figures, the interview includes discussion of: Atiyeh's governorship, noting his 1980 special session to address a surplus and his 1981 proposal for a $250 million tax increase; Atiyeh's efforts to expand Oregon's international trade; his reforms of the Unitary Tax; his Oregon Supreme Court appointments; the impact of economic changes on political dynamics, contrasting Atiyeh's administration to that of Gov. Kitzhaber; the rise of environmental issues; and Wong's transition in focus from covering state government to county politics.
