Hales Drops Support For Demolition Tax

(Portland, OR)  --  Portland Mayor Charlie Hales is no longer supporting his proposed 25-thousand-dollar demolition tax on developers.  His communications director, Sara Hottman, told the "Portland Tribune" the mayor hasn't been able to garner enough votes on the Portland City Council to pass the tax.  The tax was intended to reduce the number of demolitions that residents claim are destroying the character of their neighborhoods.  One of the primary complaints about the proposed tax was it would increase the price of new homes.
