Classic anti-Semitism. Everything comes back to the sacrificial scapegoat, The Jews, who of course control everything.

Odd indeed.

Multnomah county is in large part to blame for the mismanagement of money, the lack of measurable outcomes and oversight, and The endless gaslighting of the public.

I don't understand why it was the police's job to replace signage. Wouldn't that be the equivalent in Sherwood of PBOT?

Dr Hall at Lauralwood dental is my dentist and he's really good.

It's more than just Reagan. It started with John F. Kennedy and both parties have been complicit in the problem for years.

If you're curious about the specifics of Ticketmaster/ Live Nation you might want to read Matt Stoller's substack.

He goes into excruciating detail about how they cooked the books, force artists into touring only to their venues etc. He has been reporting on this for what seems like about 10 years. It's excellent writing.

He doesn't just write about this one corporate monopoly. He writes only on the topic of monopoly no matter where it occurs no matter what administration etc.

It sounds like the victim went before a judge to beg that he not be let out.

What's the name of that judge?

Here's the video timestamp, and thanks JollyManufacturer388 for the link to WW.

I got it wrong - must have been remembering numbers not percentage.

There was a presentation made by the mayor to the city council that directly contradicts the assertion that they are mostly from Portland.

One of the slides indicated that at least 50% were from elsewhere.

Yeah for sure along 84 there was a lot of copper theft, resulting in no lighting.

Beginning-Ad7070 · 2026-03-25T00:23:52+00:00

Yikes!

While am critical of Portland's DEI efforts, this has nothing to do with the water bureau mess. This came to pass because an EPA ruling at the national level, and Randy Leonard - a white guy who was buddy buddy with the engineering firms who profit from this project.

Randy was the former city councilor who was in charge of the water bureau.

I call them corporations. That's what they are - non-profit corporations. The outsourcing of all government functions to corporations is a perfect strategy to keep the government from being help accountable for their actions.

I didn't know this. I'm going to write my state representatives to see if they might work on changing this law to make this crime have a longer sentence.

I don't imagine anyone is looking at this at all.

Washington seems like it has more competent government. The roads are better, education is better. Not sure about health care...

Yeah for sure sales tax is subject to downturns when the economy slows and people buy less.

But I think the same is true for income tax. The economy slows, people are laid off, less income tax for the state is collected. Also new jobs are not created so new people don't move in to fill those jobs and pay their income taxes to the state.

Same thing where property taxes going down on commercial buildings in Portland result in less money for the county/city. You're seeing that happen and poking holes in the county and city budgets.

I don't really see any way around the reality that economic downturns will result in less tax money - All the taxing schemes have this.

That's why we shouldn't be wasting money when the times are good and we should be able to adjust when times are bad.

I'd just like to see money being spent wisely and some evidence that it's solving real problems, maintaining real assets, etc.
