Voters’ Police Accountability Fund Stalled | Portland News
Description
Portland voters in 2020 gave overwhelming approval—82%—to a groundbreaking police accountability plan, but today that $16 million office is still stuck without a director or even a single case heard. As the city council scrambles to reverse recent layoffs, some members are eyeing the unspent funds to undo cuts, sparking outrage from progressives who see it as a betrayal of the voters’ mandate. The debate highlights a deeper struggle: how to balance urgent budget needs with honoring public commitments to reform.
