priorities

Dear neighbors:

Our first priority must be to establish a triage center this side of the Wilamette.  Thousands of seniors and  students will be killed and maimed when the Cascadia fault rips a 7 to 9 magnitude quake through the Whit.  Let's see how much of the University district plant can be made seismically sound and efficient for health care workers.  Univ district hemorrhaged money for decades applying costly band-aids to indigent frequent fliers with complex social needs.

Next, let's meet as neighborhoods to rank priorities.  We did this in the JWN for the Scobert Garden remodel.    We listened to the proposals, heard from community members with concerns about what goes on in park bathrooms then applied sticky dots to posters to make a rough frequency graph of concerns.

My final proposal is to restart Whitaker Community Dinners.  LCC culinary students and community volunteers will use the head start kitchens on n grand to prepare a hearty meat optional casserole, bread and fruit cobbler two nights a week.

Improved access to mental health will make us safer than spending half of our budget on public safety.
