(Portland, OR) -- Portland's system of paying a portion of campaign costs for council members, mayor and auditor is expected to reduce payments. The Portland Election Commission will vote on Wednesday. Candidates who agree to the Small Donor Program get part of their campaign costs covered by the city. Next year, Portland adds eight city council members which would blow the program's budget. The maximum amount for city council candidates would be cut from 300-thousand dollars to 120-thousand. Portland City Council could add to the fund, but there's been no indication they plan to do that.
