A Portland high school student has Oregon governor’s ear on environmental justice
At 6 a.m. on a Tuesday final July, Danny Cage was packing for a tenting journey with pals when his cellphone rang. The caller ID flashed “Salem.”
He picked up: The governor’s workplace was on the road. A staffer for Gov. Kate Brown advised Cage, 17 on the time, that he had been nominated to serve on a state board, the just-revamped Environmental Justice Council.
