More refusal to follow the will of the voters in #PortlandOr:
"Portland City Commissioner Carmen Rubio on Wednesday released a plan to allocate $540 million in revenues from the Portland Clean Energy Fund tax over a five-year period to city bureaus."

Rubio also " opened up eligibility for government entities and for-profit companies to apply for money for climate-related projects" because apparently her backroom deal with climate-damaging and disaster-threatening Zenith didn't go far enough for her in paying off the profiteers.
