Letter to the editor: City officials should respond to homeless with compassion
The city of Portland broke my heart today. In reading “Organizers winding down homeless encampment at Portland City Hall,” by Staff Writer Matt Byrne (Aug. 6), I was struck by the complexity of the issues on all sides and the lack of compassion and empathy displayed in City Manager Jon Jennings’ response on behalf of […]

Letter to the editor: Portland officials fail to rein in lawlessness at protest
I wrote to Mayor Kate Snyder to express my dissatisfaction with the way the homeless encampment outside City Hall was addressed or, rather, not addressed.
