RIP Pope Francis. My spiritual journey began in the Catholic Church in the early 60's and I grew up with Pope Paul VI. He was known for progressive reforms and made my liberal Mom happy.

I will continue to support our community centers in District 2. Portland's currency is livability and our fortune 500 company is families. We need to support them and provide the excellent services and amenities they are looking for.

"Our job is to come together as one council and make sure that we get it done with a balanced budget that preserves our basic services. It allows us to get focused on our primary mission. Our best days are here to come if we as a group of 12 behave as a group that is working together..."

I have sympathy for and understand the frustration of every Portlander who has read the City Administrator’s ‘partial’ budget draft and is concerned over cuts to city services.
