In my latest newsletter, I'm highlighting two events that I want you to circle on your calendars: the Moda term sheet council meeting on Aug 5 and the D1 People's Picnic on Aug 8! I'm also talking though some key takeaways from our work session with Blazers reps and what to expect going forward. 🔗

Next week!

Portland, we want to know: what do you want out of a Moda deal? 🧵

I’ve seen some questions about whether Council is being reasonable in the Moda renovation negotiations.

Thank you to the Summerplace HOA for inviting me to speak and meet with residents! Summerplace is a senior community near Glendoveer Golf Course, and the East Portlanders I heard from had lots of good questions about public safety, housing, Moda Center, and other issues.

Our neighbors want their local grocery store back in Parkrose, and most of all, they want to see Don back at his shop.
