having coined 'Funded' #InclusionaryHousing (or Zoning), I've concerns on and follow-on ideas for Oregon #SB1521 legislating it. I grant poorly-done IZ or other mandates may be harmful, counterproductive. But requiring full 'funding' of them has many issues also

re. #FundedInclusionary housing, I coined term and support forms of, but see major issues, red flags e.g. in how unfolding in PDX so far, and proposed OR #SB1521. Looks v graft prone—big tax expenditures, insider dealing, shaky to no analysis, little to no oversight, easily of little public benefit
might PNW be willing to engage a dissenting view on this, from a sometime member, co-founder of former Low Income and Homelessness committee? Rn I'm preparing testimony to oppose/replace #SB1521. See gist in notes on @andrewdamitio.bsky.social X post x.com/i/status/202...

🔋🚲 #SB1521 is in committee next Wednesday, March 5th at 8:30am.
If your Senator is on this list, today is a great day to call their district office and explain why you think ebikes should get the same rebates as electric cars. Make sure you mention the bill number!
🔋🚲 The e-bike rebate bill is phenomenal too. It makes ebikes eligible for the same incentive as electric cars.
Sponsored by Senator @gracielaforsenate.bsky.social, @robertpeters.bsky.social and Senator Ventura from Joliet!
