Portland and Multnomah County officials on Wednesday decried the vandalism seen over the previous two nights, when crowds gathered for raucous demonstrations over the fatal police shooting of a Black man in Minnesota.
The demonstrations, held in response to the death of Daunte Wright, drew crowds that resemble those seen last year, when Portland experienced more than 100 consecutive nights of protests over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
One person has been arrested in the recent pair of protests: Alma Raven-Guido, a 19-year-old college student who was identified by an informant within Tuesday’s crowd at the Portland Police Association.
Months away from the start of the new fiscal year, three local government agencies are carving out room in their 2021-2022 budget proposals for programs aimed at solving one of the Portland area’s most pressing and most visual problems: trash.
This week, representatives for the city of Portland, the Joint Office of Homeless Services and the regional government agency Metro all confirmed they’re hoping to launch, or in one case have already launched, programs that pay people to pick up trash along local streets and highways.
In all three cases, staff will zero in on hiring specific demographics: people experiencing homelessness or people recently out of the correctional system. They’re also, in all three cases, aiming to pay workers living wages with rates as high as $20 an hour.
