Civic Life Reallocates $150,000 To Erase Graffiti The bureau says graffiti removal is worthy of increased funding. Critics say it shouldn’t be a priority. Graffiti redacted at the shuttered former 7-Eleven in downtown Portland. (Brian Burk) Updated 7:29 PM Portland City Hall is ramping up an effort to erase graffiti and tags by diverting existing funding towards scrubbing paint off of concrete walls, windows and building sidings. The Office of Civic and Community Life received approval from City Council on April 22 to divert $150,000 of the bureau’s existing funds to get more aggressive about erasing graffiti across the city.
