• Declare a Housing and Homelessness State of Emergency
    In Lane County, the Point-in-Time report showed we had a 44% increase in the total number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. On the night of the count, more than 2,000 people lacked housing and adequate standards of living. Homelessness leads to other human rights violations among the most vulnerable. Women face violence and sexual abuse. Persons who are rendered homeless are challenged to survive. There are thousands of people living in their vehicles and outdoors in our community. We need policies that do not ignore this reality but instead take actions that address this crisis immediately. Some of the immediate areas a housing and homeless state of emergency declaration can address, which would help make the TAC report implementation possible are: expanding safe and legal parking places for individuals and families living in RVs or other vehicles; developing year-round campgrounds; permitting alternative shelter options that allow people to stay with their pets, partners and possessions; initiating a temporary moratorium on the conversion of affordable housing into other uses; expediting permitting and siting for building more affordable housing units; facilitating more mobile-home park and Single Room Occupancy buildings (SROs); and putting vacant buildings, such as the Armory, into service for winter and extreme weather events. An emergency declaration could help streamline government procedures in order to act more quickly and utilize our community resources more effectively. Please move this forward to help eliminate the systemic barriers to equitable treatment and address this escalating human rights crisis that is homelessness in Lane County.

  • Revitalize hovey Playground to be safe for kids
    Hovey Playground has aging equipment that has chipped paint, ripped swings, broken and all metal equipment, which has been unsafe for the neighborhood kids. There is little equipment for children under 5 and most of the parks in Lowell have been upgraded except for this one, which has been left to slowly decay. I would like to see the town address this problem and see more children being able to enjoy it.

  • Save Hubbard County Social Services!
    Hubbard County Social Services provides support to the most vulnerable members of the community: abused and neglected children and adults. The current leadership has caused a toxic work environment, leading to over 50% staff turnover in two years. Last year, the county board decided that in lieu of investigating the problem, they would hire a consultant to find out why the department has become so dysfunctional. Since then, the board has refused to abide by the consultant’s recommendations. Between hiring and ignoring an expensive consultant and paying for interviewing, hiring, and training new staff, the county board is wasting tens of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money, all while continuing to put the community members who rely on county services at serious risk.

  • Bring fiberoptic internet to our area
    I live in a rural area of Lucasville OH and we have had extremely unreliable phone and internet service for years. The areas we experience trouble is Rush, Union and Morgan townships, specifically. We rely on land lines because of a lack of cell towers and reliable cell signal. There are elderly and disabled individuals who desperately need working communication services. We have been told by Frontier customer service that we are getting fiberoptic internet in our area, only to be informed later by service technicians that we will not be getting it on our road or those past us. We pay for services not being rendered. The bill comes regardless of whether or not we have service and we pay because we have no other alternatives. We are formally requesting that fiberoptic internet and reliable phone service be provided in our areas as soon as possible.

  • PETITION FOR ACTION BY GOVERNOR BAKER TO HALT DANGEROUS AND INADEQUATE BIKEWAY PLANS ADJACENT TO ...
    The State DCR and DOT are imposing low-quality, highway-centric bikeway projects on Wellfleet in the interest of expediency, with poor sense of location, disregarding safety and resource objections expressed in near-unanimous town votes and meetings, and in opposition to the interests of Wellfleet voters, taxpayers, and vacationers.

  • The People of Astoria Want Waterfront Development Height Limitations Across RVP Zones & Special D...
    Development along the waterfront in Astoria is coming and it’s coming fast. With multiple properties up for grabs and a towering Marriott hotel already approved at the Ship Inn/ Stephanie’s Cabin site, Astoria residents want to ensure that our waterfront isn’t eaten up by towering structures- blocking views and access to our river. Both the Port of Astoria and the Astoria Warehouse property owners are pressuring the city to make exceptions for them and allow them to build to 45’ tall. That’s over 10’ taller than the existing Astoria Warehouse buildings. We can grow, we can develop, but there is no reason to sacrifice access- whether it be visual or physical- to our river for the sake of hotels and other forms of development that don’t have Astoria residents’ best interest in mind. Let’s let the city know that we want height restrictions on development!
