Three members of the Portland City Council are exploring a potential increase of a tax on large retailers that bankrolls the city’s already lucrative clean energy program in order to plug an estimated $93 million budget gap in the city’s general fund. Councilor Steve Novick told The Oregonian/OregonianLive on Thursday that he and Councilors Angelita Morillo and Jamie Dunphy want to raise the current 1% surcharge to 1.33% and divert the surplus revenue to core city services.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson has yet to make an impression on a large number of metro area voters, including those who live in the city, a recent poll commissioned by The Oregonian/OregonLive found. Fifty-eight percent of voters across Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties said they are unsure how to rate Wilson, a businessman and political outsider who took office in January, according to the survey. Among Portland voters, that figure is 42%.

First-class airfare to Hawaii. Five-star hotel stays. Lots and lots of food. All of it footed — directly or indirectly — by customers of a large Portland-area utility. A recent Oregonian/OregonLive investigation found that executives with Clean Water Services, Washington County’s sewer agency, have spent years enjoying fancy business trips to Hawaii and meals on ratepayers’ dime. None of the lavish travel spending is accounted for in the agency’s annual budgets.

My wife's six-year journey toward becoming a nurse — which began as an ex-pastry chef/FT mom taking classes PT at PCC & included giving her dad a kidney, Covid setbacks & an 18-month accelerated program at OHSU — has concluded. Her first day in the Providence ER is April 21. 🥳

3 transcendent moments, 1 day. A suburban SoCal strip mall on a sunny Friday morning, eating Mexican food & reading “Wuthering Heights.” A rented Volkswagen Jetta speeding toward downtown LA with Macadam Crocodile on blast. A massive Fernando Valenzuela mural off the 101.
