The head of Multnomah County's government on Friday, March 5, said the county is positioned to rebound from the coronavirus pandemic while deploying its public health division to tackle other issues as well.
Chair Deborah Kafoury provided a virtual version of the yearly State of the County address, hosted by City Club of Portland, which was broken into different parts, including guest videos prepared by her four fellow commissioners as well as a Q-and-A with Kafoury's close ally and county-funded contractor, Central City Concern president and CEO Dr. Rachel Solotaroff.
