Tony Payne / Virtual Eggs N Issues

Tony Payne Chair of Advocacy Committee for the Portland Region Chamber of Commerce speaks to us about this morning’s Eggs N Issues. 

On November 3rd, Portland residents will be asked to vote on six referendum questions. Three of these referenda are particularly troubling and would be harmful to local businesses and our community. Additionally, should these questions pass, the Portland City Council would be unable to change them for five years.

At this month’s Eggs & Issues, you will have the opportunity to learn more about these proposed ordinances and the negative impacts of each proposal.
