Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is convening a meeting with regional leaders this week to discuss a flurry of planned or proposed increases in taxes, fees and utility rates bearing down on households and businesses.
Wheeler’s office Monday asked representatives from Multnomah County, the Metro regional government, TriMet, Portland General Electric, the Port of Portland and Portland Public Schools “to have an open discussion about our respective (and collective) fiscal impact to the public” on Thursday, according to his staff and a copy of the invite.
