“that’s the type of thing that we keep balancing the city budget on is just rate increases for working class people. When there are people with money. There is money in this economy. It’s just not making its way to us.”
– Angelita Morillo, Portland City Councilor District 3
In episode 62, we welcome back Angelita Morillo, the electric city councilor who has introduced and passed more legislation than any other city councilor in less than two years. We discuss why the focus on personality rather than substance is a misdirection (and misogynist), what she is hearing from her constituents and why she is unapologetically advocating for better outcomes, how she plans to build on the successes she’s had, and keeping an eye on the integrity of implementing the work.
And so much more.
A brief show note: we had some technical difficulties, so we didn’t have as much time as we would have liked to talk about other critical topics.
