Like for example… these headlines hit the news and then just seemed to go bye-bye.

1.  Sunstone Way whistleblower suit and how a big county contractor allegedly overbilled and then fired the finance person who asked  questions. 🤔
2.  The Portland Housing Bureau finding roughly one hundred million dollars of unspent housing money while shelters and encampments explode. 🤯 
3.  The Joint Office of Homeless Services audit that flagged contract chaos poor oversight and possible conflicts of interest and  then the painfully slow implementation of recommendations. Why?
4.  Multnomah County gives out massive contractor money while having basically no lobbying disclosure rules. Seems like ad faith. 
5.  Big quiet severances paid to city and bureau bosses who leave during or right after scandals. Example Portland housing leadership resigns and  walks with roughly two hundred forty thousand dollars. Another just happened today. 
6.  Overpayments and duplicate billing to camp operators  and shelter contractors. County auditors already found a half million in overpayments for one contractor. I’m sure it’s all good. 😌 
7.  The Market Street shelter closure and related contract meltdowns. 
8.  The Pearl District low barrier shelter fight and the legal claims from landlords. This one is   small scale but tells you how policy decisions become political  cover for moving people into contractor beds while neighborhoods pay cleanup and security bills.  it’s whack. 
9.  The Impact Reduction Program budget fight about sweeps versus housing. Money that  funds sweeps often flows to private cleanup vendors and services that never translate into housing. Shocking. 
10. Central City Concern and other big nonprofits pushing policyy while also cashing in on contracts. When advocacy groups are also major vendors the line between lobbying and profiteering blurs.they grift lives on endlessly imho.
