Survey Finds Portlanders Would Cut Police First
(Portland, OR) -- A survey for the City of Portland finds taxpayers would cut police services first to cover a 93-million-dollar budget deficit. DHM Research polled 600 Portlanders and asked whether they would approve or disapprove of cuts to four service areas. Police were first, then homeless services, parks and finally fire services. City Council members aren't considering cuts to police officers, but they might cut overtime shifts and other overtime funding.
