 Portland has reached a major milestone in Mayor Keith Wilson's homelessness initiative, meeting his December first goal of adding fifteen hundred new shelter beds. While the goal has been achieved, thousands remain on the streets, and the mayor emphasized that the city must now focus on long-term solutions to end unsheltered homelessness entirely.

On the public safety front, Portland police made their first arrest through a newly formed burglary and theft task force. Thirty-nine-year-old Amber Turner was arrested and indicted after police found merchandise from a store in her possession. Investigators indicate at least four individuals are involved in the burglary cases being investigated. This new task force represents a coordinated effort between the district attorney's office and multiple law enforcement agencies to combat the city's significant property crime problem, with Portland recording thirty-two hundred burglaries over the past year.

Governor Tina Kotek issued Executive Order twenty-five twenty-nine on November nineteenth, directing Oregon agencies to accelerate the state's clean energy transition. The order prioritizes five pathways including energy efficiency, clean electricity, electrification, low-carbon fuels, and resilience. State officials say this roadmap will help Oregon achieve its ambitious clean electricity and climate goals in the most cost-effective way possible.

The Oregon Legislature will soon reconvene, with business groups pushing for several key priorities. The National Federation of Independent Business is advocating to raise the Corporate Activity Tax exemption from one million to five million dollars, a change supported by over eighty percent of surveyed small business owners. The group argues the current exemption has failed to shield small businesses from substantial tax increases.

On the weather front, Portland experienced its first freeze since February fourteenth, with temperatures dropping to thirty-one degrees at Portland International Airport on December first. The first week of December is expected to bring frost and sunshine, with temperatures in the upper forties and fifties, though ski resorts continue to receive minimal snowfall.

Looking ahead, the Oregon Business Plan Leadership Summit takes place December eighth at the Oregon Convention Center, marking its twenty-third annual gathering. Meanwhile, Bend is moving forward with comprehensive growth planning expected to guide the city's development through twenty twenty-nine, with new consultant work beginning in early twenty twenty-six.
