Last month, we reported that Portland was sitting on millions of unspent arts tax dollars. That isn't true. The city did not dispute the characterization of these funds at the time of our reporting. But a month later, they told us the number was misinterpreted. Here's what we know now:

An audit released Thursday finds the county’s Election Division needs more funding for voter education programs, is falling short on supporting employees, and may need a new office – among other concerns. The audit comes 8 months before Multnomah County holds its first ranked-choice election.

Portland is poised to be the largest U.S. city to allow polyamorous families to sue over discrimination.

My 6 year old thinks she lost $15 today (for a school charity) and she's pretty responsible. She's also pretty upset about it.

The owner of the Portland building that houses ICE says city leaders are unconstitutionally penalizing him for his choice of tenants. “This code enforcement case is a textbook example of unlawful selective enforcement with a clear discriminatory motive and unlawful political retaliation."

Apropos of nothing, Sec. Kristi Noem is currently praying over Burgerville with Portland ICE officials.

Breaking news: Texas National Guard troops appear to also have been summoned to Portland. OPB is following the story and will provide updates here:
