(Portland, OR) -- The Portland City Council has approved an appeal of a Multnomah County judge's ruling that stopped the camping ban from taking effect. Mayor Ted Wheeler says they're asking the Oregon State Supreme Court to require the judge to explain why the ruling was issued. They also want the injunction against the ordinance lifted. The lawsuit was brought by the Oregon Law Center. It claims homeless people would be "irreparably harmed" by the ordinance. Wheeler says he's also writing a new ordinance that takes into account objections in the lawsuit.
