No water sign representation in a city bounded by two massive rivers can NOT be tolerated!

I don't think she embeds the story with any opinion trying to make it a bad or good thing. I'm more disappointed that it seems like gossip column material more than the solid journalism I'm used to seeing from her.

Damnit. I knew before even looking Dan Ryan would be a Gemini. We already have a hard enough time trying to clear our sign of a bad reputation.

How many former Fox News employees are now running our country in the Trump administration? Does this make it 23?

I'm probably on a list just for responding now. 🫠

I want to like this, and so many comments in this thread, but I fear the regime will come for me if I do.

Gotcha. Thank you so much for the clarification, Candace! ❤️

My partner and I don't make enough income to pay this tax, and if we did, we would still absolutely support it; but I'd also want to make sure the money was being used effectively. Am I missing something?

I value all of these things very much. I'm a STAUNCH believer in PFA. But doesn't a surplus $485 Million indicate there are some issues going on with the money being dispersed? My understanding is that Kotek is suggesting a pause for 3 years to figure out how to get the funds to schools correctly.

Don't give up, Taylor. Your reporting helps us make sense of it all.

Thanks for your hard work on this, Mitch. I appreciate the breakdown. But isn't Kotek's suggestion to pause a PFA tax increase for three years while the county figures out how to spend the $485million surplus we currently have for the program?

Loved hearing you talk about this issue of vacant buildings being camped on by out-of-state/country speculative investors. Tax away, IMO; but I also appreciate you and fellow councilors are taking your time to do this right.

Right?! The hatch is real. I feel like they hang in patches of light, but I am suspicious it just looks like that because those are the ones most visible. Definitely avoid mouth breathing while biking lest you hit a swarm.

Not going to lie, I was skeptical when I saw the study was from Oxi Fresh, but their sources seem legit. Nice work Lizzy. Let's go, Portland!

(Happy pollen count was not included on their qualifying factors; I have to mask up just to walk the dogs currently)

Sure. Thanks for asking. Happy to let it go into the wild.

Holy shit... today's Super Bowl logo... my wife just asked if it's sponsored by Taco Bell. 💀

Everything else is a distraction for the billionaire to steal from the US Treasury, dump it into his crypto BS, and have zero paper trail nor accountability. This is insanity.

Feeling grateful to you and @councilorgreen.bsky.social for helping make this happen. Optimistic about our new city government and Portland's future.

It's like someone asking you to pay them for a chance to look at their OOH billboard.

The idea of paying for a type specimen catalog—essentially a tool designed to sell you fonts—baffles me.

True, they're often examples of beautiful print work, and obviously cost money to create, but at the end of the day, they're still just a catalog trying to sell you a product.

Felt good to have some team pride. Way better than watching a tank.

So happy he is not head of the council. Disappointed that his District 2 position could be better filled by someone like Rev Nat, whose small business skills would have been perfect for helping figure out how to work with our massive budget shortfall.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

But they were sued by the band 60's rock band, Love, and forced to change their name. Sad, honestly.
