📰 News we're reading

• County wants to delay ambulance service for Troutdale, Fairview, Wood Village (newsbreak.com) — Ambulance response times in Troutdale could nearly double under a Multnomah County proposal that would reclassify the city from urban to suburban service, lowering its priority for 911 calls. Troutdale and neighboring city leaders are strongly opposing the change, warning that longer waits could be life-threatening and questioning why the county won’t share detailed response-time data.
