@geomathMEW @TheTownsman_: "As HOPE is unrelated to the process of building, maintaining, or expanding affordable housing units, focused instead on facilitating the purchase of units for the currently homeless, it is doubtful whether the program would meet the HTF’s stated purposes."
George Rheault is the housing hero our region needs and deserves. Thanks to him for taking the Cape Elizabeth Town Council to task for their hypocritical opposition to multifamily housing in their community when they profit from it in other communities. youtu.be/E7SnrDEszec?si…
Even a de minimis increase in property taxes so a private, for-profit club doesn't pay 10 years of lease fees is wrong. And the vibe I get is that they still think they're doing the City a favor. Kudos to the Townsman for writing this though. Other news outlets dropped this.
Portland Deal with Minor League Soccer Club - What Residents Should Know On Monday, November 13th, Portland’s City Council will vote on whether to authorize a deal with the United Soccer League to bring a Division III team to Portland, and house them in Fitzpatrick Stadium.
@TheTownsman_ Great write up. Appreciate the speed of the coverage too Very interesting that if the ali vote was proportionally split dion woulda still won When you link to reddit you should use old.reddit.com instead of "www"; the new site sucks
This is interesting. It's so easy to vote emotionally on this topic. thetownsman.org/opinion-rent-c…

@TheTownsman_ Jeez, crossing guards need hazard pay these days and congress st needs some giant speedbumps. Seen so many people floor it from CSP corner since pandemic
@MaryTylerSnore @TheTownsman_ has a great series started - waiting to read all of them before I vote
I mostly agree with this column but Ward absolutely does spout racist & antisemitic slurs at council meetings when he thinks he’s anonymous. thetownsman.org/its-time-to-en… #mepolitics
@aobrien2010 @JamesxMyall @blackgirlinmain to me the problem is anonymity. if people want to say awful things and have it be words in their name, so be it. in person, on camera, in writing. whatever. the consequence and the embarrassment can not be hid from.
@TheTownsman_ Thanks for recapping, Townsman. Particularly the budget-related matters.
@TheTownsman_ @mayorstrim I did wonder what to call it as I wrote the tweet. Column, blog, report, etc. thanks for weighing in. Looking forward to reading it.
The Portland Townsman, a new online publication, does an excellent job of summarizing Portland City Council meetings, and is worth a follow. @TheTownsman_
@TheTownsman_ Im more concerned with the tree graphic looking high waisted. Its odd shape makes it look very young which im not sure is the intent. The style is right, but it could use some love to make it look more pleasant
@geomathMEW @mayorstrim @TheTownsman_ Seemed pretty neutral. The townsman is the best source for local analysis.
