Portland City Council cuts its own funding, moves police money to parks in $8.5B preliminary budget

Portland is going to get more dangerous

Keep digging that hole Portland! The absolute embodiment of the phrase, “You can’t fix stupid”.

Elected leaders should be required to take a huge pay cut due to the mismanagement of tax dollars.

Let the taggers clean up the graffiti, why are taxpayers required to pay for them defacing others property?

Jeezes! Just what this city needs pretty parks and a less effective police department.
The city council is
frigging nutz!

Its going to be encamped by homeless instead of visitors

You WOKE TARDS are Insane... Haven't learned sht...

Y'know who makes the parks actually USEABLE by families...POLICE

Wow…. Keep electing Democrats I don’t feel sorry for you.

You just can't make this kind of stupidity up.

Why don't they split it evenly(?); give 1 million to Parks & Rec and 1 million to the Portland Police... Or is that to simple for them?

Ok well then since they want to keep defunding the police and making all these problems worse then it’s time to move the homeless camps, drug addicts and gang members to their safe neighborhoods since they are so sure it’s safe as to defund police for parks, let their kids walk those streets and face all of this in their school districts

Novick isn’t funny or cute. He’s a disgrace.
I had a shooting outside my apartment window.
A kid was shot while he was in his home, in his bed.
Shame on the council members who voted Aye. Shame.

And they wonder why downtown high rises are going dark… keep voting stupid…I mean blue….same thing 😂

Absolutely ridiculous! So glad that I don't live in Portland!

Guess rape and protecting people is not something they care about

😂😂😂 What a joke . We have a “ PARK “ on 136 and holgate that the homeless have taken over . What family can go safely and enjoy 😂😂
