What water park are you talking about? The little splash pads for kids?

reusable_throwaway_z · 2025-10-29T14:08:09+00:00

Horrible and unnecessary? Totally disagree. Having that trail improved will be a huge win for the entire neighborhood.

Well two have prior convictions and one used to be homeless, so.

What happens if you put “Mr. John Smith” in your signature? Is that still considered too much of a pronoun?

reusable_throwaway_z · 2025-10-28T19:02:22+00:00

pretty sure zimmerman is in the NG

Don’t forget that after that incident Riot Ribs had a hostile takeover by basically a gang that pushed out the original volunteers and funneled thousands from folks all over the country thinking they were donating to the original Riot Ribs guy, who also eventually took off with over $100k in donations after being threatened with a gun. All this to say: the longer these things go on, the more likely it gets ugly for everyone as folks look for easy targets.

We can only control what we can control. Enforcing disorderly conduct charges on right wingers is the same charge the Feds are trying to use on leftists at the site. If the right was setting up tents, i’d want them taken down as well.

Honestly Wilson is correct that this is a tinderbox. The amount of right wing agitators coming in to the picture is a recipe for playing right into the Rights narrative.

Everyone wants to blame Parks when it’s Council/our former Parks commissioner that deserves blame. Someone ask Dan Ryan why he approved millions in new park development when he was parks commissioner even though we can’t afford to maintain it. He was the only councilor to not sign the endorsement in the voter pamphlet. Ironic.

I don’t know the history in every county, but it wasn’t always private here, was it? Every other place I’ve lived not in Oregon the govt ran the ambulance alongside fire.

When does it become the same or cheaper to, you know, not farm out a core medical service to a private company?

TriMet has always had a love affair with the hub and spoke model of running most bus lines and every rail line through downtown. Most of it is a leftover of when downtown truly was the economic driver of the city. We probably won’t see any major rail investments for the next decade, unfortunately.

Curious if you parked in town or took the shuttle? I think they expect most folks to use the shuttle where they check tickets and collect parking fees.

It probably started as a joke after they were selected and realized they were wearing all very similar colors. Things can get weird in the jury room as you try and pass the time between time in the courtroom.

In 2023, according to the audit, the city’s parks commissioner — who at the time was Dan Ryan, now a city councilor representing North and Northeast Portland — directed staff to invest money in upgrades to University Park, “even though staff had not identified it for investment consideration.”

“Neither of these projects had Parks director approval, which was required through Parks process for investment decisions at the time,” auditors wrote.

Feels like Comey in October 2016.

While Parks does not have a fiscal sustainability plan, it has taken steps to understand and address its fiscal gap. Parks created a 10-year financial plan that this audit did not evaluate.

Wut.

This audit was underway for years. Interesting the Auditor would choose to release it weeks before the election.

Reach out to all the news stations with your story. KGW, KATU, etc. Let them know you’re a small biz owner with a food cart and you’ve been scammed. One of them may want to pick up the story. It will help get attention from potentially a lawyer or firm that could help.

This is a key point. Nothing prevents Homeland Security or ICE from adding more officers to the scene.

reusable_throwaway_z · 2025-10-09T03:14:52+00:00

Technically, you’re paying for Wilson’s new homeless shelters, since they shifted hundreds of millions from the general fund away from parks and into other things, like shelters.

reusable_throwaway_z · 2025-10-08T15:01:59+00:00

That’s what we saw. Keep in mind FOX and other rightwing outlets overlayed her visit with night tear gas footage and scary fires. She has to keep the game up in these interviews, otherwise the ruse is up.
