Milwaukie, Oregon Parking Lot Going Up Next To Reliable Credit Same Block::

Reliable Credit next to the Farmers Market owns that block and is taking out five downtown business' to put in parking for it's employees. So, when Metro is finished there will be a five story, high density apartments across from Milwaukie City Hall and a parking lot, for Reliable employees only, on the north block next to these apartments. Not exactly revitalizing Downtown Milwaukie but what do you expect from City Councilors (except Scott Churchill) who are using Our City for their political advancement. Think about this, how did the Light Rail become reality if the citizens of Miwaukie voted it down three times? Where does Carlotta Collette work and where did she get her start?

Milwaukie, Oregon Say Goodbye To Your Farmers Market

The Milwaukie City Council Voted Tuesday night to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Metro to build a Five Story High Density Apartment Building with No Parking! On the site of the Milwaukie Farmers Market. Despite an overflow crowd in opposition to this. The only Counselor in opposition was Scott Churchill. He made a motion to table this until more citizens were informed but none of the other councilors would second his motion. You can watch the Milwaukie City Hall meeting by following this link. More to come, such as were is this IGA?? It was removed from the City's Website.
This IGA was signed in 2006 and expired in 2011. If you think we should let the City Council know how you feel email them and follow my posts to receive additional information on this IGA. The True information that you have not been given. You can fast forward to Ed Zumwalts testimony.

Milwaukie, Oregon Where are The Tree Huggers When You Need Them

Some are confused about my last post on Our Milwaukie City Council voting to basically sell the Farmers Market to Metro so they can put up a five story high density housing with NO Parking! This aerial view should help. Metro owns the little strip next to McLoughlin Blvd. and Milwaukie owns 5% of that strip. Metro should have given it to us when they pushed the light rail on us. Let them do what they want with it. The other 75% is owned by Milwaukie. Your City Councilors just gave Our Lot to Metro except Scott Churchill he voted NO, with the residents of Milwaukie. What about all the trees that provide shade for the Farmers Market, First Friday, and parking. Ed Zumwalt said it best if you watched the video (you can fast forward) “All of you folks are using this as a launching pad for your Political careers except Scott Churchill”. #Milwaukie

Oregon Governor Kate Brown Lends Hand To Tax Hike Campaign::

Oregon Governor Kate Brown Lends Hand To Tax Hike Campaign::
"Kate Brown's slipperiness on Initiative Petition 28 doesn't shout "governor material." Someone who seeks election to the state's highest office ought to tell voters where she stands on the biggest tax hike in state history and the most significant ballot initiative in recent memory. Yet Kate Brown keeps ducking." The Legislative Revenue Office noted, among other things, that the tax would slow the growth in private-sector employment and behave much like a sales tax, reducing annual income by hundreds of dollars even for people making less than $21,000 per year. Good luck selling that to voters.
