I think men do, when it feels right. but then again I watched my best friend walk away, after coming out loud that he IS my best friend, cause he was scared to just talk to me. So maybe I'm wrong.

More than half are union positions. While some were vacancies, many are not. Even cutting vacant positions is a down-sizing of city services, as our population continues to grow. City workers testified about huge backlogs of work orders. Not maintaining our city parks and infrastructure is bad fiscal and civic policy. He should be hiring MORE people to maintain our city, not cutting their jobs.
Hales did NOT spare the safety net. Housing will suffer deep cuts because the Federal sequester means $1.2 million less to Portland Housing Bureau. The city funded housing at the same level as last year. They should have increased the City funding, knowing that the Feds are severely reducing theirs. This is far from preserving the safety net and Hales and Council know that. Yet they continue to congratulate themselves for "fully funding" housing.
As for other programs, while the services for sex trafficking victims was not totally eliminated, nor was it totally restored. Several positions will still be eliminated there. Some programs like VOZ and East Portland Action Plan were moved to one time only funds, in effect given notice that they will be cut in a year.
Hales is proving to be a spinmaster. His tactic of asking for 10% cuts and then "restoring" it back to a 6% cut level was disorienting. What he never talked about was getting revenue from those who can afford it the most--big corporations and very wealthy individuals.

Here's a secret: anecdote is not the same as evidence, kiddo. And you can't use one example (ok ok, two examples-- including YOUR PARTNER..WTF??) to prove anything about a large-scale public health issue.

"fuck right off"??

whatever dude, you're a perfect example of a turd that ruins this place. Take your own advice.

This shows total ignorance of the barriers to receiving Medicaid dental care, as well as the principles of something called *prevention*. NE, don't forgot your failure to understand what real lives are about. Do you have REAL any suggestions (alternatives to fluoridation) that would safely and effectively cut down costly, painful dental procedures down the line for a large proportion of kids? No, Medicaid is not the answer. And no, I didn't think so.

Your comment is funny, as is often the case, but don't you dare use Radiohead's name in vain ever again, you impertinent cuss!

'In Rainbows', 'Hail To The Thief', 'OK Computer' -- music just doesn't get much better than that.

Alright then. What were we talking about again?
