Official account for Portland City Councilor Mitch Green from District 4. portland.gov/disclaimer https://linktr.ee/councilorgreenhttps://bsky.app/profile/councilorgreen.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/councilorgreen.bsky.social/post/3mvoqqv5m7c2uHere is my full statement on the tweets I made in 2020 regarding the police. The PPA, PPB, Mayor and several of my colleagues have all made statements following that Oregonian piece. The public deserves to know what I think about that and stand for - then and now. https://www.portland.gov/council/districts/4/mitch-green/news/2026/9/16/press-release-councilor-green-police-tweets17 Sep 2026 03:50 +0000at://did:plc:fkj5ytfohhvmavvbimsupnut/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvoqqv5m7c2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/councilorgreen.bsky.social/post/3mvopyitjac2yIf you would like to talk about what's happening in District 4, I'll be hosting a coffee at Matta Cafe this Friday.

And they deserve an owner who loves Portland as much they do. Too often in this discourse we’ve seen the giveaway boosters settle around this idea that Portland is a “flyover” city. I reject that: Portland is dope as hell and everyone knows that.

I couldn’t support the Bull Run project knowing that water rates on household bills will go up about 10% for several years. I've been raising concerns about costs so I voted no along with @councilormorillo.bsky.social and @councilordunphy.bsky.social.

Portland deserves transparency when government is engaging with an industry known to cause harm and rely on NDAs to do business. Urge Council to vote for the ban on data center NDAs until a moratorium is passed.

Instead it appears that Portland Solutions helped the vendor evade oversight through a coordinated PR campaign.

I offered a path to yes with my amendment last week that sought to limit our contribution to $120M by not pre-committing an additional $275M even after the renovation, and have paid for the $120M.

Had my amendment passed we could have at least found the $120M. Ah well, nevertheless.
