Karen Linton of Woodburn isn’t shy about working the appropriate angles to achieve a desired end.
Whether it’s beseeching the Woodburn City Council or city officials about the merits of a dog park in the senior living neighborhoods or probing into discounts she’s read about for certain household expenses, Linton is game.
That’s likely why she recently became one of the first Woodburn residents to take advantage of the Affordable Connectivity Program, a federal program derived through the Federal Communications Commission and aimed at ensuring that households receive affordable internet access needed for work, school, health care and the like.
