A reminder that, at any point now, Tina Kotek could activate the Oregon National Guard to do some good in another part of the state, ideally multiple hours from Portland
After a Tuesday hearing, the lone GOP sponsor of the guard bill, former Army National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, dropped off. @shaanthx.bsky.social also talked to Skarlatos about why he now thinks it’s just an anti-Trump messaging bill with no teeth.

Literally just yesterday I remarked to a colleague that this administration is creating a generation of ACCs who don't have a clue how to win cases where the forum isn't stacked massively in their favor. Yeah it must suck to go to real court and be expected to make real arguments with real evidence.
If this is true, I have less than zero sympathy for her.

Southern Oregon has tried nothing on housing for three decades and is all out of ideas
Over the next 20 years, a state housing analysis estimates that several cities in Southern Oregon will need to add thousands more housing units to meet growing demand. Officials in some of those cities say it's not possible.
Southern Oregon cities push back on state housing goals
The Oregon Housing Needs Analysis says to keep up with demand, Ashland needs to build more than 3,500 new housing units in the next 20 years. In Medford, the need is even greater at nearly 21,000 units.
