Description

The Portland Metro Chamber has long argued that it is illegal for city lawmakers to raise taxes or create new ones under Portland’s charter without first seeking approval from voters, but had not previously tested its theory in court.

Portland’s largest and most influential business organization has followed through on a legal threat it made earlier this year and is suing the city of Portland over changes made to the city’s arts tax.
