  —Jack Bog's Blog

• The latest poop on Portland water

  —Jack Bog's Blog

  The City of Portland has lifted the boil-water notice that it posted yesterday, and so now west side residents are free to do whatever they like with their tap water.

• More computer woes for City of Portland

  —Jack Bog's Blog

  Last week a tipster told us that the City of Portland's new computer system, which as we recall rolled out in earnest about a year ago, was having some problems. The switchover of personnel functions, which started over the summer, was not going well, we were told, vis-a-vis the police [...]

• Portland dusting off the plastic for another binge

  —Jack Bog's Blog

  The City of Portland hasn't staged a bond issue in a while. The whole rigamarole in which the bureaucrats publish a formal offering document and go out and borrow millions from some bank or other robber baron outfit -- the last one of those that I've seen was way back [...]

• City tries out new lie in Chasse case

  —Jack Bog's Blog

  The "leaders" of the City of Portland are such bullies sometimes. And when they're wrong, they won't own up to it. They'll throw up one desperate lie after another, rather than face the truth. It's a cause for real civic shame, for every one of us who lives here. I'm [...]

  —MaxRedline

  Number of comments: 2
  The city of Portland has an extensive network of trails; part of their "green and sustainable" image.  It's particularly strong in hilly Southwest Portland, which has few sidewalks and a lot of unpaved roadway.  Portland has encouraged volunteers to construct much of the trail network there, but a number of [...]

• Bigger parks for the outer east side

  —Jack Bog's Blog

  The City of Portland has announced that it's picked up three new parcels of land adjacent to existing parks, for park expansions. They're all on the Idaho side of I-205. The long-suffering folks out that way deserve a little love now and then, and so these appear to be' [...]

• Your tax dollars at work

  —Jack Bog's Blog

  If there are two things that the City of Portland is big on these days, it's spending money on planning, and spending money on public relations. Yesterday, the two came together in our mailbox with this glossy mailer: On the address side, the details: Didn't we just do this whole [...]
