State of the City

With Mayor Sam Adams
Mayor Sam Adams
Date: 
February 5, 2010 - 12:15pm
Speaker(s): 
Mayor Sam Adams

During the first year of his four-year term, Mayor Sam Adams was subject to scandal and a failed recall effort. Supporters, however, point to the creation of programs that have benefited public school students, small businesses, bicyclists, and the arts, as well as the Mayor’s active involvement in community sessions for the Portland Plan and the advancement of a five-year economic development strategy for the city.

With the City of Portland’s persistently high unemployment rate and a subsequent recall effort underway, what does the future hold for Mayor Adams — and for the city he oversees?
