an old tweet from Bird Alliance of Oregon with a picture of the coyote riding the MAX. it says “Meet Portland's most famous coyote, who boarded a Max Train from the airport in 2002! He was ultimately escorted off by security and released back into the wild, but served as inspiration for Modest Mouse's song "Coyotes." #coyoteweek“
What makes Oregon’s law particularly smart is that it’s flexible. Other Multnomah County cities like Gresham and Troutdale can choose whether to join or stay separate. Rural unincorporated areas get special protections if they opt out, including guaranteed service levels and voting rights on any tax increases that affect them. ORS 199.715 is designed to bring together the jurisdictions that benefit from coordination while protecting those that prefer independence.

a section of the Eugene Weekly that reads: Laura Potter of the Chamber says the EmX system is one of the biggest things Eugene can do for economic development. “It’s a way to achieve the positive economic and social benefits of light rail without the infrastructure costs traditionally associated with light rail,” she says. Two of those benefits, she says, are the way a predictable ridership can contribute to a customer base and the way it aids redevelopment.

a set of stills from arrested development with lindsay and tobias funke. Lindsay asks “Well, did starting yet another astroturf organization to push the metro chamber agenda underneath a thin veneer of progressive aesthetics and an alliterative name starting with P work for those people?” Tobias responds “No, it never does. I mean, those people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but….. but it might work for us.”
A screenshot of an email from “Partnership for Progress”. There’s an ugly AI cartoon of sad people in an empty city council chamber while (presumably) Councilmembers are shaking hands over a briefcase of cash in a back room. Text of email reads: “Don’t Let City Hall Legalize Secrecy From day one, Partnership for Progress has advocated for transparency in local government. It’s one of our four policy pillars and has guided our calls for clear data on homelessness, the deflection center, and budget priorities. That’s why the latest revelations out of City Hall are so troubling—and why the City Attorney’s response is even worse. The Secret Council Bloc As reported by Willamette Week, The Oregonian, and OPB, a majority of our city council—including four Democratic Socialist of America members…”
Republicans have thrown cold water on the idea of higher taxes. They've suggested that mission creep within ODOT has led the agency to spend money on unnecessary priorities. For at least one Republican, House Minority Leader Christine Drazan, R-Canby, that includes transit. "They need to be focused on transportation," Drazan told OPB earlier this year. "They do not need to be focused on covering the earth with MAX trains."
