Make your voice heard! To honor our commitment to give Portlanders more opportunities to weigh in on next year’s budget, City Councilors, Mayor Wilson, and the Budget Office are visiting each district to hear your ideas on potential cuts and what we need to preserve for a balanced budget.
If you can't attend the listening session in your district, you can attend virtually or attend in another district. Listening session and online feedback will be shared with City Council.
