Description

Portland's current five-year levy passed easily in 2020 with 64% of the vote. At the time, city leaders envisioned the measure as a temporary fix for the long-beleaguered Parks Bureau as it worked to find sustainable solutions for its operations and capital maintenance needs.

Portland city leaders are asking voters to weigh a November ballot measure that even they admit presents an exasperating choice: either significantly increase money collected from property owners to maintain existing parks and recreation services, or watch one of the city’s most treasured civic assets wither under severe budget cuts and the ensuing neglect those would cause.
