(Portland, OR) -- The City of Portland is suing one of Oregon's top political consultants. An attorney for the city filed the lawsuit Tuesday and claimed Kevin Looper and his consulting firm, Wheelhouse NW, owe more than 46-thousand dollars in unpaid taxes and fees. Looper said he wasn't aware of the lawsuit until a KGW reporter contacted him. He says this is tied to his criticisms of the city through the People for Portland and he's not trying to doge taxes. People for Portland is a controversial advocacy group created to put pressure on lawmakers to take immediate action on the city's housing issues, drug use, and crime.
