UPDATE: The package of new programs and funding takes effect immediately following the unanimous Wednesday vote.
The City Council unanimously approved a multi-part, nearly $6 million package to reduce gun violence in Portland on Wednesday, April 7. It takes effective immediately. Today I have hope, and you should, too, Commissioner Dan Ryan said.
The package is in response to the surge in shootings and killings that began in the middle of last year. It is intended to create a collaborative response to the increase in violence involving multiple jurisdictions and organizations in the Portland area. It declares gun violence is more of a public health crisis than a law enforcement issue.
