"It's Election Day today, and in Portland, that means it's time to make your final decision about renewing a levy that will help fund the city's parks and recreation programs. One person that won't be supporting it? Councilor Dan Ryan, who came out against the levy last week after voting to refer it to the ballot back in July. Ryan formerly served as the city's commissioner in charge of parks and recreation, prior to the local government transition at the beginning of this year."
"Good morning, Portland! It's Election Day. Did you remember to turn in your ballot? If not, you've got until 8 pm to drop that puppy off at a ballot drop box. If the torrential downpours of the last week have spooked you into hibernation mode, you'll be happy to know that today is predicted to be cloudy but mostly dry, with a high of 56 degrees and a low of 48. We could even get some sunshine this Friday."
Today is Election Day in Portland and ballots must be dropped off by 8 pm at ballot drop boxes. The forecast calls for cloudy but mostly dry conditions with a high near 56°F and a low near 48°F, with possible sunshine Friday. Voters will decide whether to renew a levy to fund city parks and recreation programs. Councilor Dan Ryan opposed the levy despite earlier voting to refer it to the ballot, citing a City Auditor report about decisions he oversaw while serving as parks commissioner. Some council colleagues criticized his denunciation. Multnomah County relies on rental vouchers that typically cover the majority of a tenant's rent as a key homelessness-prevention tool.
