This week Portland City Council will vote to finalize a City budget that defunds Portland Street Response by $3 million, according to @wweek. This on top of a hiring freeze imposed by @CommissionerRG that has prevented PSR's 24/7 expansion.

Many Mercury employees (including myself) have been shot at, tear gassed, and assaulted by law enforcement—all while trying to do our jobs. It hasn't occurred to me once to move my business "out of state."

"As the region’s main agency addressing homelessness, how much input was JOHS given in the city’s recent plan to ban homeless camping and create camps?"

"Zero. We had zero conversations with the city of Portland about this plan before it was announced."

We updated this story to clarify that both Ryan *and* Wheeler's staff were involved in allowing 16 business and real estate speakers to cut in line ahead of other members of the public to deliver positive testimony on the camping ban in late Oct.

Killian Pacific donated 50k to PeopleForPortland campaign to redirect HereTogether housing & support service funds to congregate shelters while simultaneously suing PDX to block a shelter near KP property. PfP is selling Insincere Cynicism not Compassion. https://t.co/s9LcCAqARj

Thread: COVID economic fallout did a number! The 2022 PIT snapshot says houseless population increased by more than 1,000. Not surprised in the slightest, unfortunately. Now is the time to buckle down on evidence-based, data-driven solutions that have proven to end houselessness.

Pets are important to health & well being. They us keep us going, & giver the joy of care & of being cared for. Pets are emotional anchors.

I think the most interesting/somewhat confusing piece of this is that the settlement agreement reached between DOJ & PDX never required the city to improve its use of force rate, it only asked the city to implement new training, oversight, and records collection.

[🌬Emory like Memory @EmoryMort]

seems like a great day for 2 effective programs finally getting a turbo-boost in PDX. the amount of perseverance it took to get to this point - for survivors and advocates - is both absurd and heroic.

The wealthy Portland bullshit artists trying to take over city council, Russia cuts off the gas to two NATO countries, and... waitasecond... THREE positive local stories?? For once it actually is GOOD AFTERNOON, NEWS!

Have you been wanting to learn more about government sanctioned encampments, much like the ones being proposed by Sam Adams, Ted Wheeler, and Dan Ryan?
