Description

β€œI really can feel the tension in this building, in this room right now. I know we’re all really tired. I know we’re all really deadlocked,” Councilor Jamie Dunphy said Wednesday.

The Portland City Council failed to elect its next council president Wednesday after its dozen members remained evenly split over a pair of candidates despite nine rounds of voting and hours of heated debate.
