I’m slow on the uptake sometimes, but I just caught wind of a fellow named Max Steele, who’s aparently been writing about Portland city government, among other things, on Substack for a while now. He and I see some things the same way, it appears. Not everything, but some things.
What caught my attention is his latest write-up, about the slow police response times in Portland. A lot went into his post. You might want to check it out, as I did, here, in his recurring column Recalibrate Portland.
