The Street Roots issue (April 13th) that is on the street now, and will be available on the Street Roots homepage very soon, has an article by Andrea Meyer, Legislative Director for the ACLU of Oregon, explaining why they oppose the proposed Portland sit-lie ordinance. Today’s Oregonian, May 1st, has an editorial by Israel Bayer, Director of Street Roots, on the same ordinance.
If you think you live in a city that’s not watching legal developments around the country on ordinances like this one, you’re not paying attention.
