Multnomah County Budget Battle

(Portland, OR) -- There's a battle over budget cuts in Multnomah County. Chair Jessica Vega Pederson released her four-billion-dollar budget. There are cuts across the board, because revenue from the Supportive Housing Services tax brought in less revenue than expected. Vega Pederson moved nearly 30-million-dollars from the general fund to fill the gap. The District Attorney's budget was cut three percent, but DA Nathan Vasquez says it's actually five percent when one-time funds are included. The full county commission will hold public hearings before approving the budget.
