National security may be the number one item on the nation's policy agenda today. However, readying the country for additional attacks of terrorism and other crises requires significant preparation and coordination of city police and fire units-the first response team. The impact of national policy on neighborhood planning and development is not lost on Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Portland, OR). Blumenauer has long been a leader in Congress on issues of livability and neighborhood development. With issues of "home-town security" and the re-authorization of Congress' funding of transportation projects nationwide, Metro Investment Report presents an interview with Rep. Earl Blumenauer.
