Councilor Steve Novick is spot on: the Portland Clean Energy Fund should be spent on transportation. Make buses frequent, reliable, and electric! Buy an e-bike for anyone brave enough to ride one!

America is in crisis. Real #democracy feels out of reach. #Freedom is in trouble. This July 4th weekend, while the U.S. marks #IndependenceDay, we'll gather across the country—on porches, in town squares, backyards, and streets—to stand for real freedom and build a vision of a #FreeAmerica brick by brick.
