PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — Portland’s Mayor Keith Wilson is set to give a State of the City address Friday afternoon, his first since he took office in January.
In a statement from Wilson on Monday morning, he shared that over the last few months, he has seen what it takes to keep Portland running.
“This is a consequential time for Portland,” the statement read. “I’ve seen what it takes our dedicated outreach workers to help someone off the streets and back into their mother’s arms. I’ve seen what it takes our law enforcement to run fentanyl missions, investigate shootings, stop street takeovers, and break up theft rings. I’ve seen what it takes to do the hard work to fill potholes, sweep streets, remove graffiti and keep our water clean.”
