The League of Women Voters of Portland Presents a Panel Discussion: What Does Multnomah County Do for You?
LWV of Portland is holding its next Community Education program, “What Does Multnomah County Do for You?” on October 8 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm via Zoom.
This webinar clarifies how Multnomah County’s government and programs impact its residents.
Multnomah County has been a recurrent topic in local news lately, from homelessness policy to public safety to Preschool for All. But how much do you really know about the county?
What are Multnomah County’s structures and powers?
What services does the county provide?
How does it divide responsibilities with the cities and towns in its jurisdiction?
How are county taxes and fees assessed and what do they pay for?
To answer these questions, the League has invited a panel of county experts to lead an interactive conversation about what the county does, how it works, and what are its biggest challenges. At least half of the session will be given to answering audience questions. Our panel includes:
Susheela Jayapal, 2019-23 Multnomah County Commissioner
Jeff Renfro, County Economist
Denis Theriault, Interim County Communications Director
This webinar is one of the League’s community education programs, held free of charge and open to the public. All of our programs are recorded for rebroadcast by MetroEast Community Media and available by video and podcast from our website, lwvpdx.org.
