Description
April 21 on The Story: Commissioners for the Port of Portland reluctantly voted Monday to ditch a 7-year-old social equity policy, citing $145 million in federal funding at risk of being blown up due to the Trump administration's aversion to all things diversity, equity and inclusion.

In public testimony, Portlanders overwhelmingly asked the port to keep the policy in place.
