Brian Bull; Melorie Begay; Office of Lucy Vinis

In this week's installment of The Northwest Passage, our roundtable of journalists discuss a Lane County homestead that's seen a boom of felines, politicians wanting to rein in the cost of pharmaceuticals, Springfield's quest for a warming center, and Eugene Mayor Lucy Vinis announcing a re-election bid, among other topics.

KLCC reporters Brian Bull, Chris Lehman, and Amy Brenneman share their latest stories with morning host Anni Katz, as well as regional or national topics that captured their interest.
