“I think as a whole, the committee saw a lot of alignment with the funding and advancement of PCEF’s mission and values and its benefits to PCEF’s priority communities.” (Megan Horst, PCEF Community Advisory Committee, as quoted by OPB)
As a Portland business owner - I find that Portland has implemented enough taxes. creating another fund in my opinion would be irresponsible when so many other Commissioners promises have not been developed.
The PCEF is a giant slush fund that needs to be abolished. It was not created to fund whatever pet project is felt to be “needed”. PCEF under Carmen awarded $12 million to a convicted fraudster because she aligned with Rubio’s identity politics. As another example PCEF gave well over $1 million to a private newspaper to remodel their offices and $20 million to PPS for air conditioners. How does this help reduce climate change? It doesn’t. It’s time to send PCEF back to the voters. Once it’s gone maybe we can get REI and Walmart to return to Portland.
What are you going to do about Portland International raceway (a Portland park rec location) use of leaded fuel? These events are 6-7 month of cars going in circles for many days a week from 9am-10pm. While the people of Kenton get to breath that in.
Carmen prefers virtual signaling over getting things done. Don’t hold your breath for her to do anything. Not enough “vulnerable” or “disadvantaged ”people in Kenton for her to care. We need to stop voting for far left ideologues and vote for pragmatic moderates. Gonzalez was a good start…hopefully this trend will continue
