Portland City Council Postpones Discussions On Wheeler's Revised Camping Ban

(Portland, OR)  --  Portland City Council is postponing discussion on Mayor Ted Wheeler's new camping ban proposal that would replace the previous law, which is tied up in court.  Council members were scheduled to take up the ban this week but are now delaying discussions on it until next Wednesday.  The new ordinance would focus on the manner of camping.  Things that would be prohibited include using a propane heater, blocking access to private property, and selling bike or car parts.  Violators could face a 100-dollar fine and up to seven days in jail.  Wheeler says it's mainly aimed and people who refused services that are offered for alternate shelter.
