“The decision, first reported by KGW, comes as Portland officials vote on an agreement with Multnomah County on their partnership to reduce homelessness. Portland Commissioner Rene Gonzalez, who is running for mayor, has blasted the county for its policy on tarps and tents, arguing that their distribution harms the city’s “livability and the ability for small businesses to thrive.””
This is in the shadow of a Supreme Court decision which should be announced any day now determining how cities are allowed to deal with homeless issues.

Mayor wheeler already announced the enforcement of camping ban restrictions starting Monday, now this. It makes me wonder if somebody got an early tip on the court ruling.
