Portland Considers Major Cuts To Emergency Services
(Portland, OR) -- The City of Portland faces up to 100-million-dollars in budget cuts. City Council has asked all agencies to come up with five to eight percent in cuts. KATU-TV got documents showing what that would mean for Portland Police. Under the worst case scenario, they would cut 20-million-dollars which would mean 35 to 45 officer positions along with some specialty units. Portland Fire and Rescue would lose 66 positions. City Council has not made any decision on where to make cuts in the budget.
