"After a months-long hiatus, Mayor Keith Wilson says that police will once again begin enforcing "camping ban" rules against Portland's houseless community, and issuing citations to those who violate the rules. The mayor was quick to add that arresting these individuals is not the goal, and the citations are intended to serve as a way of enforcing the city's "existing codes on open drug use, illegal dumping, blocked rights-of-way, fire, and other sanitation and quality of life issues.""
"GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! 👋 Here's your reminder to empty your stomach NOW... because the Mercury's honkin' delicious WING WEEK starts in just a few days on Monday, September 29! Think of it: a pile of delectable, creatively-sauced wings made by some of the best restaurants and bars in Portland, and they're only $10 per plate. See hot pics of all those gorgeous wings here, and now get ready for some creatively sauced NEWS."
Readers are asked to support the Mercury with small monthly contributions to sustain news reporting, arts coverage, event calendars, and hosted events. A citywide Wing Week begins Monday, September 29, featuring plates of creatively sauced wings for $10. Mayor Keith Wilson announced that police will again enforce camping-ban rules and issue citations aimed at addressing open drug use, illegal dumping, blocked rights-of-way, fire hazards, sanitation, and quality-of-life issues rather than making arrests. Enforcement was paused while the city added 630 shelter beds and a downtown outdoor day center. Recent counts still show more than 6,000 people unsheltered, many refusing shelter for various reasons.
