Opinion: Portland’s broken affordable housing promise
Opinion: Portland’s broken affordable housing promise
Portland-area voters have passed bond measures specifically to build affordable housing for low-income residents, writes Emmanuel "Onry" Henreid, a singer and executive director of Future Prairie. But a slow, labyrinthine application process, which is contributing to mass vacancies amid a housing crisis, reflect a system that’s failing the working class.

Opinion: Oregon legislators must reject Trump tax giveaways
Opinion: Oregon legislators must reject Trump tax giveaways
The tax cuts included in the One Big Beautiful Bill will cost Oregon nearly $900 million in revenue over the current biennium and primarily benefit corporations and the wealthy, write Annie Naranjo-Rivera and Jody Wiser. Oregon legislators should "disconnect" the state from federal tax code and ensure that taxpayers can't double dip on the giveaways on their state tax returns as well as federal.
