Let’s see if we can raise some funds for the PSU Library. Thanks to Pete Grabiel, Bob Weinstein for Portland, and Mike DiNapoli for joining in. #Portland

Video of the officers breaking through a barricaded door to the 1st floor. You can hear them warning about a 'slick floor.' They encountered soap or some other slippery substance on the floor that was likely intended to cause police to slip and fall.

Sharon Meieran Sounds about right. That’s why I’m voting Jessie Burke in mult co dist 2

For those who watched the press conference by Chair Vega Pederson and are still wondering what happened as a result of the 90-day fentanyl emergency declaration, the end results seem to boil down to:

City, county, and state governments collaborated;

A dashboard was created;
