Aviation workers express sincere gratitude to President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, the Department of the Treasury and to Congress for creating a stimulus package for the airline industry.
“We applaud all involved in reaching an agreement with the larger airlines,” said Tim Jewell, president of the Airline Professionals Association, Teamsters Local 1224. “This was a great step forward in helping to protect the livelihoods of thousands of airline employees and the industry itself. There is, however, a significant element that needs to be completed. It is vitally important that an agreement is reached and that the stimulus funds be distributed immediately to the smaller regional and charter carriers. Many of these smaller carriers do not have the cash reserves to weather this storm much longer. They are in need of relief right now.

This week’s announcement of the permanent closure of the Alpenrose Velodrome and events space is the latest chapter in the slow closure of a much-loved Portland institution.
The Southwest Portland dairy, which was sold after a family rift in 2019 by the Cadonau family that founded it in 1916, has been a fixture in the community for more than 100 years.
