Tonight's CBPA vote highlights a quirk of the new system that the public is probably going to have to adjust to - going into executive session, then coming out of executive session and taking a secret vote on an item. It's a different vibe, to be sure.

CBPA has been in Executive Session for over two hours... supremely glad that I decided to watch from home tonight, lol.

I'm staying out of the [redacted] budget fight, but I do wish that anyone aside from Councilors Kanal & Avalos would put even 1% of this energy into asking why [redacted] probably isn't going to hear a case this decade.

I am proud of the work that I did and immensely grateful for the wins that we achieved this year, both at the City and at the County - and to the electeds who helped us achieve those wins (and candidly, that's all of them). But I am profoundly disappointed in this process.

This is my second year volunteering with Multnomah County Department of Community Services, and I'm really proud that (thanks to the hard work of DCS staff + the partnership of the County Commissioners) we were able to save every filled union position in DCS, this year.

Two out of three Animal Enrichment positions saved in the Chair's proposed budget. That's a huge improvement, although you can hear me argue on May 14 that funding all three positions would be cooler.

Listening to Motus give a second presentation to CBPA on their recruiting process for the OCPA Director. Twice now they've proposed a process that is in violation of City Code. The first time was probably the City's omission, but I'm troubled by their lack of attention to process.

I've reviewed almost a dozen officer involved shootings/in-custody deaths and one thing that has always stood out to me is that only one of them was unhoused. So many people in crisis are just nominally housed - couch surfing, living in trailers, etc. None of them show on a PIT count.

Also: did you know that you can donate directly to the Animal Shelter and specify where the money goes? They don't specifically have an enrichment donation, but donating can help animals get adopted more quickly! www.multcopets.org/donate/one-t...

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...
Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005. CBP’s misconduct scandal is so long-running that today it would be old enough to drink.

In total, according to CBP’s own discipline reports, over the 20 years from 2005 to 2024 — the last year numbers are available — at least 4,913 CBP officers and Border Patrol agents have been arrested themselves, some multiple times. (In 2018 alone, a single CBP employee was arrested five times.) To put that number in perspective:

• The population of CBP agents and officers who have been arrested would make it roughly the nation’s fourth largest police department — equal to the size of the entire Philadelphia police.

• Indeed, for much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States.
