It's not often that an Oregon Governor inserts herself into local or county politics, particularly tax policy. But Democrat Tina Kotek did just that, sending a letter to local officials voicing her concerns that the tax impact of "Preschool for All" is driving wealthy residents not only out of Multnomah County, but out of the state. In this timely download, TMT President and CEO Vanessa Sturgeon breaks down the impact, and offers an update as Portland continues its comeback.

A small but mighty crew of TMT Development staff teamed up with SOLVE and collectively pulled a full truckload of invasive weeds from the inner-city oasis of Midland Park. Invasive species can change the food web in an ecosystem by destroying or replacing native food sources. Midland Park is a vital nature patch in Portland that provides a home to urban wildlife. Clearing out the weeds has made room for the native plant species to thrive. We were grateful for the opportunity to get out of the office and help care for one of Portland's precious parks.
