So wait, Councilor Angelita Morillo voted to cut the Mayor's public safety budget, but her advice for lack of police is for people to be "semi competent" with guns??? It's bonkers to recommend vigilanteism over 9-1-1. @TheOnion

Here's some alarming new homelessness data - spending has increased over 1000% in 10 years, yet homelessness continues to set records each year. Other cities have achieved more with less; it's time for Multnomah Co. to focus on outcomes, not just spending money! #followthemoney

mobilize.us/partnershipfor… MultCo spending on homeless services is up 1000%, yet more people than ever are living on the streets. Want to know why? Sign this petition for an INDEPENDENT financial audit of homeless spending. To do better, first we have to know what we’re doing wrong.

wweek.com/news/city/2025… Other cities are figuring out ways to build more low cost housing. Some Portland city councilors are more interested in adding to bureaucratic hurdles and ramming it through without charter-required public comment. Thanks @EZ_PDX and @DanRyanPDX for…

Portland's police budget is already the lowest of comparable cities. With six gun related homicides so far in March, we literally can't afford to cut public safety even more. (Chart thanks to Revitalize Portland.)
