I work with Solidarity Against Austerity Coalition. We want City Council to discuss ways we can avoid cuts and provide local stimulus by raising revenue from those who can afford it and from big corporations and banks, instead of discussing ways to best cut city programs that affect working and low income people.
We should not be pitted against each other. Tell the City Council to search for revenue-raising solutions. They can look at tax breaks instead fo telling us to fight over crumbs. http://www.solidarityagainstausterity.org/
Poor city, county and state leadership has played an important role in the lives of Portland’s homeless. With high unemployment and jobs leaving the city it would be a shame if city leadership would pull the rug out from under these poor folks to save their pet peeves.
