A billet
on the ballot
The business-backed committee trying to refer Portland’s
new public campaign-financing plan to the May primary ballot is expected to
turn in more than the required number of signatures today, setting the stage
for what promises to be a fascinating political brawl.
The First Things First Committee actually gathered the required
number several weeks ago but has kept going in case some are disqualified.
At the same time, the committee has been hit with two elections complaints
alleging the signature gatherers lied to signers, saying the campaign money
would reduce the amount of city money available for schools -- which is not
the case.
