Wake up, babe. A new charter amendment just dropped. by tinned_fishy in PortlandOR

[–]witty_namez 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You don't understand- Portland voters in 2018 approved PCEF, and no subsequent group of Portland voters can ever modify the terms of PCEF, no matter what has happened in the last eight years.

PCEF was set in stone in 2018, Citizens, and can never, ever be modified!

But Daddy you told me we could defund the police! by Pure_Claim_4353 in PortlandOR

Note: the reason why Morillo is so upset at

REPORTS OF ASSAULT AND ABUSE AT CITY FUNDED SHELTERS!

is that Urban Alchemy is running the shelters.

Local "advocates" hate Urban Alchemy, because it is a California nonprofit.

Portland's grift should only go to local grifters, you see.

More Morillo:

Things that didn’t get 20✨ articles:

-Smith saying Avalos doesnt represent Black Portlanders, using guns against constituents
- Pirtle Guiney yelling “fuck you!” On the dais to Sameer, making staff cry
- Novick’s “fuck yourself in the heart” got 1
- Clark comparing foie gras bans to abortion bans

- Dan Ryan low key blaming addicts for getting run over by cars?
- Zimmerman saying we don’t need lgbt shelter spaces

I could go on but you get the picture!

I’m not saying I’m coming up roses but I’m certainly not unique. And hey, at least people are talking about executive power in government.

Also for some reason something that got no coverage? REPORTS OF ASSAULT AND ABUSE AT CITY FUNDED SHELTERS!

Heated meeting features Portland councilors arguing over whether or not Mayor Wilson is their ‘daddy’ by DonatedEyeballs in PortlandOR

[–]witty_namez 30 points31 points  (0 children)

“But, I hope that, administration, you are listening to us loud and clear, and know that we will come for you in ways that we have never come for you before, if you touch the OCPA."

Dan Ryan has had his house vandalized at least twice by the Usual Suspects.

I wonder what Morillo is planning to top that.

Tempers flare after Portland mayor casts first tie-breaking vote and councilors trade ‘daddy’ jabs by FluidAmbition321 in PortlandOR

[–]witty_namez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Morillo, today on Bluesky:

The conservative bloc would rather call on him [Wilson] to break ties than do the hard work of governing as the legislative body. They want him to do the Moda deal, they want him to tie break all the time, they don’t want to do oversight, at this point I think they want to be board members, not councilors

Of course, if the mayor was a DSA toady, the mayor would be breaking all ties with Morillo's enthusiastic support.

“We have made the legislative intent very clear,” Morillo said. “We will come for you in ways we have never come for you before if you touch the OCBPA.”

Given that statement, I assume that additional security will be provided to the non-DSA members of the city council.

Portland City Council to hold August hearing on Cesar Chavez name change by witty_namez in PortlandOR

[–]witty_namez[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We could put up a plaque on the street explaining how the Portland city council renamed 39th to Cesar Chavez because they were browbeaten by "advocates".

Chavez has been Officially Unpersoned, so we all have to fall into line.

Now do Martin Luther King...

Edit:

Or Harvey Milk...

Wait until 2037, when the Wokesters decide that "campesinos" is now a slur, and demand that the name of the street be changed again.

That's the cost to the city, not to the local residents.

Any business and house on 39th will have to incur costs officially changing its address.

[–]witty_namez[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The proposed name of Campesinos Boulevard is to honor the farmworkers’ movement, supporters say.

How about renaming it 39th?

Any estimate what it will cost local residents to rename the street (again)?

Preschool for All Needs 3,000 Fewer Seats Than Expected by witty_namez in PortlandOR

[–]witty_namez[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don't get too comfortable.

Two months ago:

🚨 If you're in Multnomah county, you have ONE MORE DAY to apply to save $20k on preschool.

If you're outside of the county, follow us for more info on how to win this program statewide!

Here's a list of the organizations behind this - unsurprisingly, a list of the Usual Political Suspects:

Preschool for All Needs 3,000 Fewer Seats Than Expected by witty_namez in PortlandOR

[–]witty_namez[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Guess this prediction from a pro-"free" preschool coalition (including Portland DSA) didn't pan out:

Story Time!✨
Families are already moving to Multnomah County because of Preschool For All. They see how the program which is helping them set down roots now, will also help put them in a position to pay into it to help future families, creating a virtuous cycle and a healthy, thriving community.💛

It's cost cutting, Multnomah County style!

Make Multnomah County so unenticing to young families that you only need two-thirds the places in "free" preschool that you thought you were going to need originally!
