An important edition of Next Up at City Council

There are some weeks when the Portland City Council’s public hearings agenda looks dull to most people. I hope that by posting Next Up at City Council regularly since the beginning of the year, I’ve helped readers see that interesting/important/dangerous stuff sometimes lurks underneath. This week, as I worked on the latest edition early Sunday morning then finished it up on Monday, my review seemed particularly important, with a $77 million item sitting innocently in the list.

So I was highly chagrined when I checked in here yesterday evening, and found the post disappeared. As noted last week, we’re changing hosts, and apparently I unknowingly uploaded Next Up in the midst of the switch. And thereby lost it. Thankfully, fairy blogmother Lynn Siprelle is not only a genius, but also dedicated to helping out in multiple ways. She retrieved and posted it, and if you scroll down to yesterday’s posts, you’ll see it back up. Or click here.

We are still having minor difficulties with the blog – an old page from my first campaign keeps mysteriously appearing as the home page, rather than the latest blog posts. We’re working on it.
