Portland to take up street tax today

Portland City Hall will be hearing the $423 million street tax plan today. The tax will hit homeowners,but more seriously it will hit hard small business owners. The Willamette Week noted “Yet a healthy $24.2 million””or about 5 percent of the total tax””won’t go for maintenance but for building 112 miles of new “bike boulevards.” “

Please get involved by testifying at the hearing or calling your City Commissioner (contact info below).
