The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that Multnomah County plans to spend around $230,000 distributing more than 6,500 tents through the Joint Office of Homeless Services in the coming fiscal year, (“Portland mayoral candidate Rene Gonzalez slams Multnomah County funding for tents, clean syringes,” June 10). I think our public officials are missing a great branding opportunity: Instead of just giving out the tents, why not put a logo on them? I’m thinking, “This Tent Courtesy of Multnomah County Commissioners” might be attractively attention-getting.
