When the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners wrapped up two months of debate yesterday and approved its $4 billion budget, Vasquez’s office came out unscathed with $56 million.

The board of directors still must approve the appointment of Dr. Shereef Elnahal.

Employees depended on Providence’s St. Vincent Medical Center because it was close by, and primate bites and scratches require immediate attention.

The ordinance is a response to concern among taxpayers that inflation—high in recent years—is pushing middle-income people into income brackets that require paying a tax that was meant to be levied on high-earners only.

Federal guidance is on a crash course with Oregon law.

“We’re concentrating all the shelters in one place, and we don’t want Rockwood to turn into Old Town,” Jones-Dixon said.

It’s been a long strange trip for the company and its partners.

Shereef Elnahal is a fan of surfing and psychedelics for treatment of war-related injuries.

Trip venues are closing, raising questions about how to fund the shroom bureaucracy.

Heather Mirasol, director of behavioral health for Multnomah County, says she plans to leave her position this month.

A person of interest has been detained for questioning.

OSHU “must address this issue” in a review to be completed this fall, the letter says.

The bill would give OHSU four years to wrap up research.

Guidance on occupational exposures didn’t address librarians, so the county reached out to NIOSH for advice.

OSHU’s primate center has more than 400 Japanese macaques, a breed that researchers rarely use.
