Do you know where we can we see the council’s actual wording on the proposal? I’ve heard they’re debating whether to move funds from the sweeps budget for rent and housing assistance and I’d like to submit in favor of that, but I want to see what they actually wrote so I can reference correctly.

Beside the point, but I do like how even if you removed the votes he got under the working families party he still wins just on the democrat party ones.

I did a cursory googling and all that came up is state and community level. I would welcome a correction if i’m wrong.

Like a ton of us came together to financially support each other and we have way less wealth. It’s not an unrealistic ask.

I like your comparison tho, either way they split it that person is a liar. I do wish we had a real portland group that could have more intelligent discussions. Probably at minimum have to get rid of the up and down votes for that to ever happen.

About time. Sweeps are a proven failed strategy for decades now. Makes no sense to continue funding them. Getting people into housing is a win for everyone.

This is it. This is the best one

Loving those old guys in the back. Great looking army!

Yes!
