Portland Budget Measure Closer To Ballot
(Portland, OR) -- A group trying to get a measure on Portland's ballot this November that would give the public more say in budgeting is closer to its goal. They turned in 78-thousand signatures by Monday's deadline. That's well over the 40-thousand signature required to get on the ballot. The measure would create a program where two percent of the city's discretionary revenue would be decided by voters. The city elections office needs to verify the signatures before the measure goes on the ballot.
