These horrifying tragedies are why I will continue to support @councilordunphy.bsky.social's proposal to end the concealed handgun license exception in certain city buildings. We cannot erase this tragedy, but we will do everything we can to prevent ongoing suffering.

Our children deserve classrooms filled with learning, laughter, and possibilities, not fear and violence. How many more families must be shattered by heartbreak before we address this crisis? Our response to this horror should not be only outrage. We need lasting action.

Three children and a teacher should be alive today. My heart breaks for the families whose loved ones will never come home, the survivors bearing unimaginable trauma, and the entire Bend community in mourning. No family should ever be forced to bear this kind of pain.

Neighborhood shops, cafes, & other small businesses are the heartbeat of our economy. That is why I introduced a plan to strengthen our economy. Our Fair Share Tax plan raises the city’s BLT exemption from $75,000 to $500,000 in annual gross receipts, qualifying 18,000 businesses for tax relief.

We have a policy proposal to support small businesses and address affordability, and to raise millions for things like parks, transportation safety, violence prevention, Portland Street Response, and summer programs for youth and seniors. Portlanders want this. Here are some powerful testimonials.

This is not a difficult choice. It’s a matter of priorities. We can make City Hall work for the people who sent us here. We can protect services Portlanders rely on, give businesses that need it a tax break, and make our tax system fairer. Join us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr-9...

We need a City where neighborhood businesses get breathing room, workers don’t carry all financial burdens, and mega-corporations contribute fairly to the city they profit from. It’s time to change how we respond to working people’s struggle. Austerity is not the answer.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 15/10/2026

The surtax on mega corporations applies to profits from doing business in Portland, not sales, hiring Portlanders, or whether a corporation has headquarters here. The Fair Share Tax addresses economic inequality by giving tax relief to businesses that need it.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 15/10/2026

This is common-sense legislation that will move Portland forward. We’ve heard all the narratives calling to reject this commonsense policy: “businesses will leave,” “Prices will rise,” “Jobs will disappear.” This isn’t true.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 15/10/2026

Today, the Fair Share Tax returns to the Committee of the Whole. We face a simple decision: keep the financial burden on working people and small businesses, or require large corporations with significant CEO pay gaps that have benefited from the Trump tax cuts to contribute their fair share.

The Fair Share Tax is a commonsense policy that incentivizes mega-corporations with extreme CEO pay gaps to reduce them and addresses the growing economic inequality that makes it hard for people to afford living in our city.

2415

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Austerity is a policy choice, not the only option. When a CEO makes 500 times what a typical worker earns, that is not just a pay gap. It shows an economy rewarding those at the top while workers struggle to afford basic needs.

15712

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Every budget season, working people hear the same message: There’s no money. No money for parks. No money for public safety. No money for services families rely on. But somehow, asking corporations with enormous CEO-worker pay gaps to contribute more is unreasonable.

1417

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

A neighborhood bakery shouldn’t carry the same tax burden as mega corporations paying their CEOs 100 times more than workers. Our Fair Share Tax would exempt 18,000 small businesses from the business license tax. That gives small businesses breathing room.

1354

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Working people deserve a fair share. Portlanders pay more for rent, groceries, and utilities. Small businesses are fighting to stay open. Meanwhile, CEOs collect enormous paychecks. Why should working people keep carrying the burden while corporations pay less?

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Yesterday, I was proud to stand with all of you and say, Portlanders, it’s time to give our small businesses tax relief, tackle economic inequality, and fund the services you deserve.

From accountants, to musicians, coffee and bagel shops, artists, business alliances, unions, faith leaders, and experts, we heard overwhelmingly supportive testimony for the Fair Share Tax today. It was loud and clear that Portlanders are ready for City Council to pass this, now let's get it done.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

This is a moment for political courage. Working people no longer need lip service; they need action from City Hall. Keep making your voice heard to help us get this out of Committee. Tell your elected officials to put your needs before the billionaires who do not need their support.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Our message is simple: Pay workers more, rein in excessive CEO compensation, or pay higher taxes to support the city you profit from. This is about fighting inequality, leveling the playing field, encouraging higher wages, and generating an estimated $72M annually to protect vital city services.

1273

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The Fair Share Tax would raise the Business License Tax exemption to $500,000 in gross receipts, eliminating the tax for about 18,000 small businesses. It would also raise the existing CEO Pay Ratio Surtax on about 405 publicly traded corporations with extreme CEO-to-worker pay gaps.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Working families are struggling with higher rents, food costs, & bills that keep rising. Small businesses are doing everything they can just to keep their doors open. Meanwhile, publicly traded corporations reward CEOs with enormous paychecks as our city faces cuts to vital services.

1140

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Small business owners, accountants, business alliances, union members, policy experts, and workers spoke in favor. They called for a bold shift: lifting the tax burden from hardworking Portlanders and placing it on corporations stockpiling wealth across the nation.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Today’s Fair Share Tax testimonies were inspiring and reminded us that we can make progress when we unite to address economic inequality. We deserve an economy that empowers working families and small businesses and strengthens our neighborhoods, not one that benefits only those at the top.

More than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Starbuck's CEO took home $31 million - 1,794 times more their median worker. Live Nation's CEO made $33 million - 976 times the median pay. The system has been rigged against the working class, but the Fair Share Tax starts to change that.

Austerity is a policy choice, and working families should not pay for it with their schools.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Working families already struggle with high housing, food, and childcare costs, and many cannot afford basic necessities. When public resources are limited, further cuts, closures, and reductions in essential services should not be the default response.

1192

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Austerity should not be the only solution for working people. I stand in solidarity with the students, educators, and families opposing these closures. Families deserve a real voice in these decisions, and educators need resources to support our students.

Right now we have a Council that is reticent to say no to the police bureau on just about anything. Oversight is viewed as an attack rather than a partnership. The police bureau should not get to procure new technology without going through the Data Privacy Office, just as every other bureau can’t.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

When I created Portland’s first Data Privacy Office it was with the intention of investigating any new technologies purchased by the city, or assessing new data collected. Until the office is implemented by the executive branch, PPB will get to pilot new tech with no oversight unless Council says no
