Welcome to the blogosphere, Amanda

Just a quick heads-up. There's a new blogger in town. Amanda Fritz - erstwhile candidate for city council, neighborhood activist, registered nurse - is now blogging.

This blog is about issues I find interesting in Portland, Oregon. ... As I've started writing articles, I realize that many of my posts will be longer than typical blog entries. I aim to delve into issues in detail, as often core policies are carried out (or not) in those details. Explaining complicated issues often can't be done in a paragraph or two, and I make no apologies for refusing to dumb it down. I believe Portlanders deserve adequate, accurate information and are very capable of understanding and digesting it.

Dive on in. And discuss over there.
