Description
Your editorial makes a good case for trying to restore the $1.9 million addition to police in the mayor’s budget that six colleagues and I voted to divert to parks maintenance – which the mayor had cut substantially, (“A $1.9 million budget shift Portland can’t afford,” June 1). In the past week, I have been working with Chief Bob Day to clarify how that money could be used effectively for recruitment, and I am optimistic that we can find the money to fund a well-defined effort. Chief Day is well on his way to answering what you rightly described as councilors’ “legitimate questions that city staff and police should have been able to answer more clearly.”
