Yes, we need behavioral health and workforce resources. But people can't recover from addiction if they don't have a home. People can't get a job if they don't have a home. And there are many people who can’t work because of disability, age, or other challenges.

People can't recover from addiction if they don't have a home. People can't get a job if they don't have a home. And a focus on getting people to work is misplaced when we know that seniors are one of the fastest growing groups in our homeless population.

The Morillo amendment does a lot more than just address sweeps but that’s become the focus. Let me clear: sweeps will not save our city, and citations will not magically house the thousands of people sleeping on our streets.

In the week since Mayor Wilson began enforcing the public camping ban, we are seeing MORE tents in East Portland. Those folks are just being swept into my district.
I told the mayor that this is what would happen and asked him to bring extra resources to East PDX to meet the displaced. He did not.

Our amendment doesn’t cut those things.
Mayor Wilson could’ve called me to clarify and ask questions before blasting us in a newsletter, but of course he has to find a scapegoat when he doesn’t magically end homelessness on 12/1 by warehousing people.
Looking forward to clarifying this tomorrow.

The Impact Reduction Program also provides trash abatement, which is essential in maintaining clean, walkable sidewalks for all Portlanders. We shouldn‘t cut their budget.

Hey @legaleagle.tv! There’s been some talk here in Portland that Governor Kotek could have called up the OR National Guard *before* Trump did in order to protect our city from ICE and possibly the military. Would that have been legal? What happens when the state conflicts with the feds?

For the first time since it was discovered a century ago, researchers have made a live observation of a young colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni). Amazing footage! 🧪🦑

Almost transed myself at DMV today.
Despite the near miss, I’m glad Oregon makes it so easy to change the gender on your ID!
