In the year since the first COVID-19 case was detected, Multnomah County has stepped up in so many ways to help our residents navigate incredible, frequent and oftentimes cascading challenges. We re taking the lessons we ve learned forward to both help end the pandemic as quickly as possible and to inform major initiatives around housing, mental health and early childhood education.
Reopening depends on lowering case counts, hospitalizations and deaths. So Multnomah County is aggressively using the small share of vaccines it receives from the state to reach people at highest risk of getting sick and dying.
Michele Veenker: Sheriff s Levy shouldn t be considered an either/or proposal
On Feb. 25, Pamplin Media Group reported on the Clackamas County commissioners voting to support the Sheriff s Levy. In that, they quoted me. Although the quote was correct, because I was not allowed to finish my testimony, my quote was taken out of context and left the readers with the misconception that I was against the levy, when in fact I support it.
The reporter said I supported the idea of increasing bed capacity for mental illness but questioned whether the sheriff s office is the best agency to administer such services.
