Portland Voters Decide Community Budgeting | Portland News
Description
Portlanders are about to vote on a historic shift in city governance: Community Budgeting for All. With over 41,000 verified signatures, this initiative would let citizens directly decide how to spend 2% of Portland’s annual budget—roughly $16 to $17 million—through participatory budgeting. Inspired by programs in over 100 U.S. cities and thousands globally—including New York since 2011—it’s a bold move toward democratic control of public funds. The campaign even submitted a record 78,000 signatures, proving strong public support. November’s vote could redefine how Portland spends money—and who gets to decide.
