"To this end, that every voter in Portland should be able to make an informed decision on these questions, what follows is a thoroughgoing, top-to-bottom explanation of the 2020 Charter Commission proposals, what they mean, and why one may vote for or against each one."

"This report does not intend to persuade you to support or oppose any of the Charter Commission’s proposals. It is simply a piece-by-piece breakdown of a complex set of proposals into terms the average Mainer can understand, as free as possible from the polemics surrounding it."

"No background knowledge is necessary, we’ll be assuming you are coming into this topic knowing nothing at all about it."

"If you already are mostly ‘in the loop’, much of this will seem painfully redundant, but for the many Portlanders who are completely lost in the often-opaque world of local politics, this is for you."

"I’d like for you to come to your own conclusions about the commission’s proposals, and make an informed decision at the ballot box this November."

Everything you need to know, and a whole lot that you don't, about the Charter reforms on the ballot this year.
