PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The city of Portland has mailed out bills for the first time to property owners in neighborhoods where leaves were picked up.
Now it’s up to the residents to decide whether to pay.
KGW reports the city will let residents opt out if they feel the $30 bill is unfair — for example, if they lacked advance notice.
Mayor Sam Adams says the Transportation Bureau will absorb cost overruns if too many people opt out.
