Back

We demanded an unarmed Portland Street Response, to deal with public nuisances and people in crises, so the cops won't kill so many people. The old City Council dragged their feet underfunded it, tried every bureaucratic trick to kill it

We defeated the Columbia River Crossing, highway expansion/bridge to Washington. Now ODOT are back with a plan to spend billions called the Interstate Bridge Replacement, but you can still see where CRC has been crossed out and the new name written in.

We decriminalized drugs, then the wealthy and their cops camped out in the legislature until they were re-criminalized.

Seems to me we've got a problem with a lack of democracy in Oregon.
