Welcome to Commissioner Amanda Fritz's site! ****************************************
Dear Neighbor,
I hope you are having a good summer. I am spending much more time outside in neighborhoods, and greatly enjoying my visits. Remember there are lots of free (taxpayer-funded/private donation/volunteer supported) events in parks, business districts, and other community gathering places every week. See the Portland Parks and Recreation web site here for some of the happenings, and our Coming Down The Pike tab (above) for more community meetings and events including a list of all the neighborhood Farmers Markets.
Sincerely,
***************************************** Sign up now for health care coverage for kids! See here on my blog. ****************************************

The 2009 Pride Parade was especially fun for me, as my three children Luke, Ali, and Maxwell carried the banner for our group. Many thanks to everyone who cheered and clapped for us.

My team's goal for this web site is that it will be one of your favorite places for finding out information quickly, and for giving feedback on projects and issues you care about. For instance, check Coming Down The Pike for frequent updates informing you of upcoming meetings and events we believe you may find intersting.
I believe the people of Portland, when given accurate, inclusive information that isn't full of acronyms and insider-speak, make good choices about what's worth spending time and money on, and what isn't. As a community organizer, I experienced problems with finding that accurate, clear data. It shouldn't be so hard for citizens to find out what is going on in City government. I promised during my campaign for City Commissioner to work to make it easier, and this site is part of the process of honoring that commitment.
for tips on how to use my site to stay connected with what's happening at City Hall, in my bureaus, and in Portland's neighborhoods. |
