On Sunday, BizPacReview<\/a> posted an article about a business in Portland, Oregon, that put a sign on their door:<\/p>\n

…Marcy Landolfo has shuttered her Rains PDX shop in the most conspicuous way possible \u2014 with a large note on the store\u2019s front door.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRains PDX was a locally-owned small business. But, due to the constant, and unrelenting, criminal behavior, coupled with escalating safety issues for our employees, we have decided to permanently close,\u201d the note reads.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our city is in peril. Small businesses (and large) cannot sustain doing business, in our city\u2019s current state. We have no protection, or recourse, against the criminal behavior that goes unpunished. Do not be fooled into thinking that insurance companies cover losses. We have sustained 15 break-ins\u2026 We have not received any financial reimbursement since the 3rd,\u201d it continues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The note concludes, \u201cPortland has always been known for its thriving and abundant local, independently owned, small businesses. If small businesses are forced out, then our city will have lost a lot of what makes it a unique and desirable place to live. Please do your part to support small businesses, this holiday season, and beyond. Please be vigilant in voting to make our city safe again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes that a local coffeehouse that tried to host a ‘coffee with a cop’ was smashed up & sprayed w\/paint everywhere by 6 masked assailants using hammers & crowbars. <\/span>#Antifa<\/a><\/span> then celebrated the attack on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there is hope. The article notes:<\/p>\n

Dovetailing back to Landolfo\u2019s note, take heed of how she urged people to \u201cbe vigilant in voting to make our city safe again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

To their credit, some Portland residents have been doing exactly that. Indeed, during the midterm elections earlier this month, they ousted the city\u2019s anti-police, pro-criminal commissioner, Jo Ann Hardesty:<\/strong><\/p>\n

…According to The Oregonian, she lost specifically to political newcomer Rene Gonzalez, a pro-police candidate who wants to re-fund the cops.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The voters are the people who can make a difference locally which will eventually make a difference nationally.<\/p>\n

It is well to remember the words of Tip O’Neill–<\/span><\/span>“All Politics is Local.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
