(Portland, OR) -- Portland Commissioner Mingus Mapps says the timing is "not good" for needed budget cuts in the city. Mapps, who is running for mayor, says the next local administration will have difficult decisions that will need to be made shortly after they take office. Current Mayor Ted Wheeler has said five percent needs to be cut from the city's spending plan for all departments besides emergency services. The budget challenges will be especially difficult to navigate as the city also transitions to the new administrator-based form of government, according to Mapps.
