Could it really be that the people trying to put this measure on the ballot hiring 400 additional officers actually don’t know that it would increase property taxes? How irresponsible could you possibly be?
kmachiz1PDX2026 would increase property taxes by over $20 million annually. This is the size of the entire Portland Children’s Levy. Over 400 additional officers x $100k base pay x over 50% @kanalforportland.bsky.social @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social @mitchgreen.bsky.social @candaceavalos.bsky.social
