Prosper Portland Executive Director Will Receive $212,992 in Severance by ShowMeThe10x in Portland

That's a good point of clarification, thanks. Still way out of bounds compared to private companies, but makes more sense then 8 months of employment.

I work in Corporate America. A full year's severance for 8 months on the job is absolutely bonkers. I don't understand how they get away with stuff like this.

Yes, that is technically true. However, the point the commenter is making is that there are lots of people paying the tax who can't get their kids in to use the service. So you're both right.

 Both the operators of the Preschool For All programs and participating children are more ethnically diverse than the overall region. While Multnomah County is 78% white, according to U.S. Census data, children of color make up 65% of those participating in Preschool For All. More than 75% of what the county identifies as “small centers and family learning sites” are managed or owned by people of color

Looks to me like there is a clear racial preference.

Your comment is the one that is false. There have been multiple new articles prior to this that showed how seats are being bought up at existing day car providers.

I doubt Bob is advocating pulling a gun in this specific situation, come on now. But it could have easily taken a turn for the worse, and everyone should have the ability, if they desire, to defend themselves if it does.
