"* Eviction of Disabled Veteran Halted After Intervention From Neighbors and a City Councilor A 68-year-old veteran with disabilities got an eviction notice last week for unpaid rent he didn't know he owed. With swift intervention from a tenant union and a city councilor, the eviction case was dismissed. Tenant rights advocates say the case underscores a larger, systemic problem."
"* Sorcery-Inspired Ciders Are Brewing in Buckman Alert! 🚨 There's a new player in the local cider scene. Alchemy Cider has opened in the Buckman neighborhood, bringing a dark magic, metal-inspired aesthetic to the former Brewery 26 space. 🍻 * Oregon Lawmakers Make Another Go at a Transportation Funding Package The bill, expected to raise roughly $4.5 billion over the next 10 years, was approved by the Oregon House and will now move onto the Senate-after a hiatus."
Neighbors and a city councilor intervened to stop the eviction of a 68-year-old disabled veteran who received an unexpected notice for unpaid rent; tenant advocates call the case emblematic of systemic housing issues. Alchemy Cider opened in Buckman's former Brewery 26 space with a sorcery-inspired, metal-inflected aesthetic. The Oregon House approved a transportation funding bill projected to raise roughly $4.5 billion over ten years; the measure will advance to the Senate. University of Oregon faces a funding shortfall and anticipates a second round of layoffs despite a $25 million Schnitzer family gift, after earlier cuts of more than 40 jobs.
