More than a million acres in Oregon are on fire, and as of Thursday morning, the Bench fire on Warm Spring Indian Reservation has grown to over 64,000 acres. Please join me in supporting wildfire recovery efforts in Warm Springs by donating here: https://loom.ly/umv03f4
The Portland Clean Energy Fund is making so many critical, essential investments in our community - and every dollar of PCEF reallocated towards a stadium renovation or the cops is a dollar lost in programs like this Girls Build summer camp: https://loom.ly/Lz0JA1Q
What does the Portland Clean Energy Fund pay for? Inside one program funded by PCEFPortland leaders may redirect Clean Energy Fund dollars to police or Moda Center upgrades. KATU spotlights current PCEF grants like Girls Build, a green construction camp for foster and unhoused girls, funded with $130K.katu.comTerrific quote by my friend and colleague Adriana in last week's KGW story about efforts to redirect vital PCEF funds away from community investment and towards cops and the Trail Blazers' stadium renovation. https://loom.ly/AGDkMqk
These designs are gorgeous! I'm currently preparing multiple pieces of legislation next session that would make it legal and cheaper to build these beautiful homes in communities across the state. https://www.sightline.org/2026/07/09/introducing-the-new-neighborhood-apartment/
It is imperative that Oregon's legislators pass a transportation package next year, and that we prioritize investments in maintaining and preserving our existing roads and bridges along with restoring and expanding public transit service across the state. #orpol
Oregon lawmakers say they’ll prioritize bipartisanship in 2027 transportation funding planAt its third meeting, Kotek’s transportation workgroup invited lawmakers to discuss their priorities and policy ideas they want to include in 2027.www.opb.orgThe Portland Clean Energy Fund continues to make meaningful, tangible investments in our community that make our city healthier, more climate resilient, and more equitable. It's time to tell the Blazers and cops: hands off PCEF. https://loom.ly/Vj3mblM
It's unacceptable that the campaign to defund PCEF has spent the last few weeks brazenly lying to the public to collect signatures. It suggests backers know the public wouldn't otherwise support their effort to steal PCEF money for more cops. https://loom.ly/46IZ97c
Yes, the silence on these war crimes is abominable. This will just create more desperate refugees, which the US will refuse to admit. Heartbreaking and maddening.
Scott HortonThe US is adopting a strategy of attacking water storage and desalination plants designed to render the region uninhabitable. If continued, this strategy will make the Gulf littoral uninhabitable in the coming decades. Yet there is no discussion of these tactics and their repercussion in the US.
Our fights for climate action and economic justice are interlinked. I'm hopeful that next year the Oregon Legislature can fully embrace climate smart policies like investments in green energy and mass transit as opportunities to build more affordable communities. https://loom.ly/umGJnlI
Why Climate Politics Can’t Wait“Climate hushing” is all the rage among Democrats. That’s a big mistake.www.bostonreview.net100% agree. Funding Trimet is critical to supporting downtown recovery.
ClaytonI am BEGGING the state of Oregon to realize that funding TriMet helps downtown recovery. It’s not just transit bringing folks to downtown, it’s also the fact that union TriMet employees make decent wages and those dollars get directly put back into small businesses in our city.
Grateful to @FriendsofTrees for their work (funded by the Portland Clean Energy Fund) to provide 3 yrs of summer watering & follow-up care for street trees that provide life-saving shade in the face of deadly heatwaves. Another reason why we must #ProtectPCEF. #HandsOff PCEF https://loom.ly/gZoPAl8
Oregonian Readers Respond: Care for Trees That Shade UsLetter to the editor from Friends of Trees Executive Directorwww.oregonlive.comPCEF's Cooling Portland program to distribute free heat pumps to low-income Portlanders, *saves lives.* PCEF is planting more street trees & ensuring access to cooling for all. In the face of increasing deadly heat, we need to #ProtectPCEF to protect our communities. https://loom.ly/u7xuau4
It’s been 5 years since deadly heat gripped Oregon. Here’s what’s changedFunding gaps remain the biggest obstacle to helping vulnerable Oregonians survive extreme temperatures.www.opb.org@theschmidtshow.bsky.social nails it--You can support a public deal to keep the Blazers while asking for actual data and comparisons with other cities' market-rate deals.
