With Gov. Tina Kotek's (long-expected) announcement that she's running for reelection this morning, it's the perfect time to revisit our comprehensive look at how her first term has gone. #orpol

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek says she’s made progress on major issues. Even some fans are skeptical

Welp, this work session has been postponed.
Portland City Council will meet today to discuss the "Homelessness to Housing Continuum."
The original idea was for it to be a venue for Mayor Wilson to talk about his homelessness plan. But per Wilson's office, it's not certain he'll show up.
(And bureau staff have been advised not to attend.)

It’s hard to capture how momentous Coach Beam’s death is. As a former member of the Peralta and Laney communities, I can say, his name was everywhere, in the best way. Rest in power and may your legacy live long.
The ‘mentor and father figure’ led championship teams at Laney College and Skyline High School for decades. He was shot on the Laney campus on Thursday.
John Beam, legendary Oakland football coach shot at Laney College, has died
