Next Up at City Council, July 2, 2008

The Portland City Council Agenda for tomorrow, Wednesday, is refreshingly short, and likely to be finished before noon. A nice contrast to the overladen line-ups the past few weeks, when several “morning” sessions starting at 9:30 a.m. ran over four hours.

The most significant item on this week’s list is probably the one first on the Regular Agenda:

948 Declare it is the policy of the City that children who lack health care coverage in the City of Portland deserve basic health care coverage (Resolution introduced by Mayor Potter and Commissioners Adams, Fish, Leonard and Saltzman)

I will post comments on this initiative another time.

There are no items scheduled for Wednesday afternoon or Thursday on this week’s Agenda. Happy 4th of July, everyone!
