PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A Portland commissioner has decided to permanently cut funding from a neighborhood group after an audit found that money had been mismanaged.
Oregon Public Broadcasting reports that Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, who oversees the city’s civic life bureau, opted to remove funding from Southwest Neighborhoods Inc.
The nonprofit first had its funding thrown into question last summer. City officials have said leaders of the group, which oversees 17 neighborhood associations in SouthwestPortland, wouldn’t turn over boxes of financial documents that some members of the group believed could reveal financial misconduct.
