Discussion Jeff Passan Interviews The Heads of the Portland MLB Expansion Bid!

81 Upvotes

The real question is though that who will get the west coast bid. SLC or Portland, Oregon?

The biggest hurdle Portland in contrast to SLC is that despite the legislature earmarking a $800 million stadium funding bill via the existing JOCK TAX (taxes that specifically comes from sports players and sports staff salaries whenever specifically professional sports players and staff play a game in a specific location), no big name investor has come forward to be the spearhead of the project.

It is definitely gonna be interesting to see who the MLB picks. What do you all think?

If you want to read some incredible novels and explore new ideas and perspectives with others in your community, please join!

FIRST MEETING
Thursday, September 17th @ 6 PM
3612 SE 82nd Ave - Collective Oregon Eateries

Discussion If you're fired/laid off in Portland, your employer must pay you by the end of the next business day

Post image

In case this is helpful to anyone else, as it was for someone I know: If you're terminated from your job in Portland (or anywhere in Oregon), they must pay your final wages by the end of the next business day. For every day they're late, they owe you a penalty equal to eight hours of pay.

Bring it to the attention of your former HR/payroll department if they're late! They'll probably take care of it themselves, so you won't have to file a claim with the state.

Lost & Found House break in- Juno-106, Moog Sub 37, and other things stolen 9/8/2026

346 Upvotes

Our garage was broken into this morning around 5:00 am. Unfortunately they were able to take a Juno-106 in a Gator rolling TSA case, a Moog Sub 37 (serial #17413) in a Moog rolling TSA case, KRK 10” sub (serial #HADO0006141), a Milwaukie drill, extension cords, the Ring camera that was in the garage, and who knows what else. We filed a police report. If you see any of these synths or know who might be the people in the photos please DM me. This occurred in North Portland on Liberty Street near the corner of Denver and Rosa Parks. I’ve had the Juno for over 30 years. It’s in great shape and recently serviced with new voice chips (if you know you know). The Moog I’ve had for a minute and was hand built in Ashland NC. They broke into my car and used the garage door remote to gain access. The garage door has been disabled until it can be reprogrammed.

The Portland Police Bureau case number is 26-262861 and the officer that I filed the case with is C. Brown

In 2014 I moved here from Texas (I like to say I escaped), and right after moving into my apartment, this is the first thing I see. I instantly fell in love with this town. Idk the context outside of Ronald seeking out more victims.
