Finished reading chapter 1 (Welcome to Amateur Radio) of the Ham Radio License Manual.

One of the first pictures is of people in the Multnomah County Emergency Operations Center. I didn't expect a microtargeted ad in a printed book.

For folks in Multnomah County, Oregon, you can take a short budget priorities survey to share your views with Chair Jessica Vega Pederson. The survey asks you to do 3 things:

1. Rank a list of about 15 different major program areas.
2. For a few of those major program areas, rank specific programs within the area.
3. Share whatever is on your mind in a free text question.

The survey will be open until Monday, March 3.

I voted.

Filled out the ballot at home on Sunday and dropped it into a ballot box at the neighborhood library today.

I urge you to vote, and if you have the privilege, do it early.

Hoping for the best for our city, our county, our state, and our country 🇺🇸

Oregon county sues major gas provider for allegedly sowing climate doubt

"#Oregon’s most populous county has sued the state’s biggest gas provider for allegedly sowing climate doubt, marking the first time a utility has faced charges of climate deception."

Somehow I'm just learning that Mary King is running for #Oregon State Treasurer this November, and I am newly excited to receive my ballot.

Mary King, retired economics professor, was the policy powerhouse behind #Preschool4All in #Multnomah county, and the unfortunately unsuccessful Eviction Representation for All measure in #Portland. She genuinely believes in #TaxTheRich and has the ideas how to make it happen.

Kid is heading to Outdoor School and I'm stressing out about #Covid. They sleep in bunkrooms. Online I found a page about past years' precautions and they fizzled out around 2022, so it seems there is nothing now. Oddly, the handbook Multnomah Educational Service District actually prohibits masks in the shower and overnight (?!) #COVIDcautious I've left a handful of voice-mails. #PortlandPublicSchools #pdx #multnomah #SaltTheVibes

(luckily, I was one of those 12%, after falling in love with Rotterdam's Erasmusbrug while living there…)

#CommunityDesignAdvisoryGroup, 20 volunteers tasked with review and a final recommendation, decided not to choose between the public’s top 3 choices.

Instead recommended that commissioners approve the Inverted-Y design, favored by roughly 12% surveyed.

I got an alert for a multiple alarm structure/vegetation fire in #Fairview on Watch Duty (got notifications set for #Multnomah and neighboring counties).

Local news sites KGW/KOIN/KATU etc. are reporting a small plane (per FAA a twin-engine Cessna 421C) crash near the #Troutdale airport.

No info on how many were on the plane--hoping the residents of the townhouses made it out safely. #PDX #aviation #Portland

What a great rule to have in a county where simple things like merely being #homeless is considered a crime.

Wow, remarkable that our #Multnomah County taxes are actually helping people moving from #homelessness to shelter, rather than just being used to fund some Ted Wheeler concentration camps.
