Portland Council Deadlock and Power Outages | Portland News
Description
Portland’s city council deadlocked over park and public safety budget cuts, forcing Mayor Keith Wilson to cast his first-ever tie-breaking vote — siding with keeping the cuts. The heated debate even saw councilors jokingly call the mayor “daddy.” Still, they agreed to fund 30 public safety positions. Meanwhile, thousands lost power across three counties amid record heat, with utilities promising restoration by Wednesday. Globally, oil prices surged after Houthi claims of attacking two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, though Saudi officials confirmed only one ship caught fire without confirming an attack.
