Loki went to the vet on Thursday to get a dental cleaning, and ended up having 4 teeth extracted :sadness: (see following post).

He is recovering well, other than being a little out of it from the pain meds.
We are so grateful he made it through the procedure, as he is a senior cat with kidney disease.

He had his front legs shaved, and now it looks like he’s wearing oven mitts.

Happy Caturday! 1/2

I think I see where Portland can get the money to cover the budget gap. Maybe reduce the PPB budget to cover things like clean water and sidewalks and parks.

Although this shows that the Police budget is the largest portion of the General Fund (the discretionary portion of the budget being argued over), that PPB pie slice doesn't show the additonal PPB costs not included in their budget--e.g., the money PDX property taxes pay into PPB pensions, and the money the general fund spends in response to civil or tort claims when people object to being abused by police, and the money spent on 'risk management' insurance to try to get ahead of those claims.
