The fine is for daring to erect wood panels over their first floor windows (see above), which the ICE office uses to protect against snipers. The fine is starting at $981 monthly and grows if not remedied. Mere days after Portland said ICE cannot protect itself from snipers, someone shot up the windows at the Phoenix ICE building. #stoptheviolence #enforcethelaw #stoptheriots #portlandor #portlandoregon #Oregon #backtheblue #SupportICE #privatepropertyrights #governmentoverreach See less

The TL;DR — what came out This was the Council’s first real conversation about the ~$1 billion Moda Center deal. No term sheet exists yet. But councilors across the dais — with PhDs in economics, the scholarly literature in hand, and months of withheld answers behind them — pried loose the four things that decide this: The team’s “private contribution” is the public’s own money. The City formally asked Tom Dundon’s group to put in private capital. Their answer, confirmed by the City Administrator on the record: the ticket fees and parking revenue the public already pays are “our private contribution.” Councilor Candace Avalos’s response: “Absolutely not.” The team may already owe what the public is about to pay for. The lease requires the operator to keep the arena “first class” at its own cost — and the City’s own assessment says it isn’t. The City quietly agreed not to enforce that in 2024, and the new owner wants it erased. Councilor Novick: “Why haven’t we filed a lawsuit asking for $600 million?” The December “deadline” is not in the law. Pressed for the statute, the City Administrator admitted it’s an administrative bond-scheduling preference — and that Portland keeps the 2030 Final Four whether or not it renovates. You’re being asked to vote before the homework exists. The independent economic review the state’s own law requires isn’t done — the analyst isn’t even hired — and the City’s refreshed analysis won’t arrive until after deliberations begin. And the public agrees with the standard. In the City’s own 18,000-response survey, the #1 thing Portlanders want from a renovation is more private dollars; what they want least is luxury suites and clubs; and the one thing every faction agreed on was transparency. The deal on the table still asks ~$1B+ from the public for a return that rounds to $0. On June 24, the Council said so itself.
