Home Forward Cannot Produce Details of CEO’s 2024 Trip to Hawaii for Insurance Conference Home Forward, the city of Portland’s housing authority, has declined to provide any details about its CEO’s attendance of a captive insurance conference in Hawaii in October of 2024.

It blows me away that not only does Ivory Mathews still have a job but that none of the local leaders in #Portland have called for her to be fired yet for gross abuse of public funds. www.wweek.com/news/city/20...

Portland housing agency officials spent more than $25K in public money on Hawaii trips Records obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive show several agency officials have attended a Hawaii conference and associated board meetings for the Home Forward Insurance Group since 2022.

Shocker! Why do YOU think they established their insurance subsidiary in Hawaii rather than Oregon?

Ending having insurance companies started in Hawaii rather than Oregon would be another start. I rented a car on Kauai fir about 1/3 of what she paid on her taxpayer-funded family junket. And didn't pay over $600/night for a luxury hotel. p.s. I thought the city had a fiscal gap!

Multnomah County still can’t say where $150,000 in gift cards, other incentives went After months of internal review, the county’s health department could not find the distribution logs for 131 gift cards and cash equivalents.

Maybe they need to stop handing gift cards out. Probably costs them as much in paperwork/accounting as the cards are worth, anyway!

Bruce Springsteen brings hope and the power of rock and roll to Portland "The Land of Hope & Dreams Tour" brought an urgent political message and three hours of electrifying music to a packed Moda Center Friday night.

“The America that I love, the America that I’ve written about for 50 years, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration,” Springsteen said. “

Kellie Torres for Portland City Council

I don’t live in District 3—but I’m paying close attention to who steps up to lead Portland through a critical transition.
That’s why I’m supporting Kellie Torres.

Portland is facing complex challenges, and needs less ideology & more experience & steady leadership.
