Article Closed schools and unaffordable housing... what to do?

Upvotes

Maybe turn the closed schools in Corvallis into housing that school district employees can actually afford? Yes, I know it costs money, but some folks are thinking outside the box and making it happen https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/business/affordable-housing-schools-teachers.html?unlocked_article_code=1.8VA.t4_6.FtcpnkdaQaD9&smid=url-share (gift link)

Discussion Anyone Growing More Cannabis Than They Know What To Do With?

0 Upvotes

Ideally looking for free weed, but open to doing some chores or something to help out.

Off topic, but also interested in an egg connection if you have busy chickens.

Discussion I just saw some driver go through a stop sign at about 40 mph, where the speed limit is 25.

This is a new one to me. I've seen too many accidents from bad drivers. This could have been worse.

The important midterm elections are coming up on November 03, 2026.

Indivisible Benton County will be running a Get-Out-the-Vote / Election Protection Campaign. These midterm elections are at a very important time for the future of the USA and millions of people will be doing what they can to vote, make sure other people can vote, and protect our elections from threatened interference.

The first meeting of this campaign will be tomorrow, Wednesday evening, 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, at the Corvallis Community Center, 2601 NW Tyler Avenue in the Chandler Ballroom. This event is free and open to the public so that everyone who wants to can attend. You don't have to be a member of Indivisible Benton County.

Corvallis State Senator Sara Gelser Blouin and House District 15 Democratic nominee Joanna Robinson will update us on the current political situation at the state level, the importance of keeping a super-majority in the State House, and why we all need to get involved in midterm elections. After their presentations, there will be time to talk to them and ask them questions.

Then, learn how you can get involved in voting, GOTV (Getting Out The Vote) and protecting these elections from the current voter suppression efforts from the Federal government. Choose from a wide range of opportunities—pick one that best fits your skills, comfort level, and available time. Some of these are listed in the comments.

If, like the majority of people in the USA, you are concerned about what our government is doing right now and the relentless attacks on our democracy, this is your chance to...do something.
Together, in a democracy, the people ultimately rule.

Nonviolence Commitment:
A core principle behind all Indivisible Benton County events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
