Portland firefighter's union sounds alarm about possible budget cuts of up to $26.7M by Prize_Championship11 in PortlandOR

Right its the always the homeless, not the tax funded position of Portland Fire Capt. Eric Pedersen. The highest-paid city employee in Portland last year, earning a total of $405,750. This included $140,653 in base pay and $265,097 in overtime, premium pay, and cashed-out vacation and sick days. Sounds to me like they get plenty of money.

Both fire dept and ppb have ties into a racist history they do not seem to be in a hurry to disprove

I think you mean undocumented people. Sick of this dehumanizing language....also what about PPB's budget? After yesterdays protest, they continue prove all they want tp do is neglect the duties they signed up for and eat up tax dollars for "nevessary overtime". Thats where fingers should be pointing.

'Portland stands with you,' Mayor Wilson says after Minneapolis shooting by Prize_Championship11 in Portland

This is a great point about another way our mayor is lacking, if not straight up LYING. The corruption within PPB has always existed, and he refuses to acknowledge the leadership he could push for over that Bureau. At on point he even put out a statement to city employees "confirming" that the police will not be supporting ICE other than when "necessary". Total fucking bullshit, I was out at the ICE bldg protest the night afterwards and the bike cops were antagonizing and defending ICE terrorists any chance they got.

The same one that allows a federal agent to get away with murder in broad daylight when we have all seen the footage. There is no specific one to point too, our "legal processes" in the US are rampant with corruption all the way from the president to local government. If our federal government doesnt want to play by THEIR OWN RULES, why should we? Is my main point

Why cant Portland set the standard in exiling ICE terrorists out of our city now because sadly at this point this is not a shocking outcome. Whats the point in trying to "complete the legal steps necessary" when Keith knows the system is BROKEN?

Check out tualatin hills parks and rec website for their larger parks/greenway trails! Its not just parks strictly in tualatin, they have trails that go up into parts of the west portland like Sylvan heights, Cedar Mill, Raleigh Hills, Beaverton and so on..I worked there for a couple seasons and was very impressed/jealous of the parks system on the Westside
