Descripción

Kat and Kip Kvetch about the lack of integrity in city/state leadership and management, the near-constant budget “crisis” and the inability to find $170 million in an $8.5 BILLION dollar budget. And Bears and Butts. Also, Thursday April 30th city council needs to hear your testimony at 2 pm supporting the “Right To Know” ordinance that will prohibit law enforcement officers from wearing face masks and compel them to provide identification when interacting with people. This is a basic right that should be codified into city law. Any state actor who has the ability to take away your freedoms to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness should be required to identify themselves. Whether they are local police or the federal gestapo. You can sign up to testify in-person, virtually, or submit written testimony here: https://www.portland.gov/council-clerk/testimony-registration?doc_id=59274 [https://www.portland.gov/council-clerk/testimony-registration?doc_id=59274] And the Oregon Working Families Party is holding a rally in front of city hall 1-4pm.

The Wednesday Kvetch, May 20 2026

Kat and Kip discuss the Portland city budget debacle yet again, why austerity measures are offensive when there's not a great understanding of what money exists and how it's been used, why Prosper Portland needs to go away, and why people shouldn't harass or stalk other people. For the YouTube™ version, see https://youtu.be/JrU0iVR1ZkA [https://youtu.be/JrU0iVR1ZkA] Also, the St. John's Fire station #22 was re-funded, even though the vote was not unanimous due to disagreements where the money should come from mostly (still waiting on finding a detailed vote and reasoning to be published). As Kip is a resident of St Johns and the station is just down the street, the station is the ONLY fire station on the peninsula and the closest to the CEI hub. It is unimaginable that this cut was even suggested or unsupported.
