I appreciate the City Administrator making initial recommendations on our budget options. This morning, Council posted our calendar for budget actions, which we will consider and adopt next week. We plan to have several conversations with Portlanders about the many difficult tradeoffs we face.

Shout-out to Portland Council President @councilorepg.bsky.social for correcting the record on the "doom loop" hype. Your city has challenges and it is rad.

Thanks to @oregonian.com for publishing my opinion piece today. Let's build the Portland we want to live in—one that works for all of us.
