Council Clash Over Park Funding | Portland News
Description
Portland City Council erupted in heated debate over a parks and public safety funding plan, with sharp clashes over where to pull money — Climate Fund vs. OCPA — and a shocking moment when one councilor switched off another’s microphone. Tensions peaked when Councilor Angelita Morillo called the mayor “daddy,” sparking a fiery exchange with Councilor Loretta Smith, who demanded to know who Morillo was addressing. A councilor later warned the administration against touching OCPA funds, saying they’d be “come for” — a metaphor Smith didn’t get — before the council narrowly passed an amended plan avoiding OCPA, 10 to 2, proving they can still move forward — even if the drama never stops.
