Portland is raising fees, cutting services, and telling residents to expect less, yet somehow there's always money for new bureaucracies and ideological pet projects.

How about we try something radical: fill potholes, maintain streets, support police, fire, and emergency response, and keep parks clean before creating an Office of Immigration Affairs. Those are the basic services taxpayers expect from city government.

It's hard not to see this as another bone tossed to the public-sector unions and activist groups that helped elect the DSA bloc on the council. Portland doesn't have a revenue problem—it has a priorities problem. City Hall seems far more interested in expanding government than making government work.

Enough with the political signaling. Fix the city.

Aaron Mesh is such a political ignorant cuck. He wants to be what Jeremiah Hayden is but can’t since at least the WW is considered a somewhat real paper.

Proof positive that Portlanders have a very tough choice - if they vote for DSA or “moderates” they are likely voting for deepening Union influence over everything politics in PDX.

Unions will never be the answer for reform in managing the city of Portland. They are self interested and geared toward extracting every tax dollar they can get their hands on.
