Law prof. #localgovlaw, public health, Oregonia, PDX transport. Always looking for a good cup of joe. My unorthodoxy will inevitably disappoint you.

My thoughts on why #Oregon k-12 public schools continue to perform poorly, posted -- appropriately enough -- on a ❄️ day... https://t.co/mAyEkrb6nF

@DoubleJLonghorn @NBCOlympics Yes, not putting the name up in small type for the whole run is inexplicable.

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

@EmilyGirsch Sorry you experienced that. Awful traffic around here with no solutions in sight.

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

Kudos to @NHLPA for getting their players a break around and through Xmas, quite unlike NBA & NFL. I assume this all comes down to collective bargaining.

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

@RisonOnSports @HD_DirtKing You would need one person in charge, whether prez (like U Cal.) or chancellor (like U Illinois), even if there is subordinate leadership on the separate campuses. I assume Pacific and Willamette would be downgraded to "college"; U with a U doesn't make sense.

Thoughts from former students/alums?

Two of Oregon’s most-prominent private universities are negotiating a merger. https://t.co/YNN58nuqRw

@bartlelo Sorry I missed it. Thx for your coverage -- not that easy to find live scores!

@Jeff_Eager Sec state was closed today, fyi...

@freep I don't get FS2; not exactly a regular channel. @MLB

Managed one of the most memorable teams ever! '86 Mets (even if I wasn't a fan)...

[New York Mets @Mets]

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Davey Johnson. 🧡💙

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

@Jeff_Eager Early release all next week?

Thoughts on the regressive #orleg transportation package that is rumblin', bumblin', stumblin' (?) toward passage on Friday: https://t.co/ZrtbtEZe9p

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

@hotcouponmama But LO starts next week and still gets that week off.

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

So apparently Oregon public school districts can start the year on different days (some today, some after Labor Day) but they all *must* take the same spring break. Why?

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

Why not the Wells Pool? https://t.co/3AVztE41cY @PDXParksandRec

This was a rather infuriating listen. https://t.co/aNktYA4NBb

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

@EdgeworthThomas Nice one. 😉 They go back to school on Sat & Sun?

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

Brush fire along I-5 north in Wilsonville. Hopefully 🚒 gets there soon. #pdxtraffic

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

@ORSenateGOP How is this "corrupt"? Just hardball politics.

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

@hotcouponmama I see it in there, incorporated by reference but no clarity on implementation timeline.

[pragmaticurbanist.bsky.social @dilleradollar]

As the #orleg races to finish a transportation bill, what ever happened to tolling in #Oregon, the linchpin of the 2017 bill? https://t.co/tC3wZElNeW
