The address discussed the proposed $3.5 billion budget that county commissioners will vote on June 8
Portland City Council reverses a plan to take money away from a racial equity organization Wednesday.
Justice Rajee, the Director of the local, Black-led organization Reimagine Oregon, says that he felt personally disrespected by Commissioner Mingus Mapp’s at Wednesday’s City Council meeting after Mapps repeatedly criticized Reimagine Oregon’s lack of action in distributing $5.8 million in Recreational Marijuana Tax funds set aside by the city to help incubate Black-owned businesses in Portland.
On Thursday, Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty debated against her two challengers who have raised the most money and are the most active on the campaign trail.
Hardesty, Mozyrsky and Gonzalez are the only candidates invited to appear before the City Club of Portland.
