More budget cuts will be in store for the Portland Police Bureau if a $5.7 billion budget proposed by Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler passes the city council.
Since his reelection last fall, Wheeler has come under fire from all sides of the political spectrum as the city contends with upticks in vandalism and violence.
This month, vandals set fire to the Portland Police Association building and vandalized a local history museum in response to the killings of Daunte Wright by Minnesota police and homeless Portlander Robert Delgado by the PPB. In lieu of solutions from the federal courts, business owners and residents have blamed Wheeler for failing to quell the unrest and escalating tensions after calling for residents to help the city unmask vandals this month.

Metro OKs county homeless plan, $27M for Portland to collect tax April 29 2021
The Metro Council voted 6-1 to accept Multnomah County s implementation plan for the Supportive Housing Services tax.
Multnomah County has cleared a key hurdle between itself and at least a billion dollars in new tax revenue over the next decade.
The Metro Council approved the county s Supportive Housing Services local implementation plan by a vote of 6-1 during a virtual meeting Thursday, April 29, with Councilor Mary Nolan casting the lone no vote. The question my vote answers today is, Will this plan, if implemented as presented, achieve and deliver the results within the 10 years that the voters have generously given us to end homelessness in our region? said Nolan, who represents downtown and North Portland. I come to the conclusion that it will not.
