These newsletters would allow taxpayers

Livingston seeks City Council position
Glenn Livingston, a Black man who has
a roofing contracting firm at 7th and
KiUingswonh. is apposing Frank Ivanoe
far City Council. Position «3. Living-sum
was an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor
in 1976.
Livingston is campaigning on the issue
of economic survival of the working class,
the poor and senior citizens on fixed
incomes.
Among Livingston's concerns are:
G O V E R N M E N T COSTS:
"Oar a ty government is bloated with
bureaus and they spend thousands of
dollars in consultant foes for studies that
the a ty doesn't really need. W e need to
switch our budgeting over to the zero-
based budgeting concept. Also, every
bureau and agency should have to state
what their goals and priorities are. I f this
question cannot be answered then their
operations should either be curtailed or
abolished."
HOI SING:
“This a t y must encourage diversified
housmg tu all areas of this a t y . Priority
must be on single-family dwellings with
multi-family dwellings secood. I propose
a significant program of expanded rehabi
¡nation of existing older dwellings
throughout Portland."
EM PLO YM EN T:
"We need to expand our efforts to
attract noo-poiluting. energy-conservant
industry to Portland. W e need many
more jobs. I f elected. I will help to bring
the citizens, business interests and our
city government together in an intensive
effort to create lasting jobs. For y e a n
our city government has pitted business
and our atizens against each other. Now
is the time to work together."
T A X A T IO N W IT H O IT R E P R E S E N
T A T IO N :
T n M et. M SD. the Port of Portland
are prime examples of taxation without
representation for their Boards of Direc
tors are appointed rather than elected. I
believe that their boards need to be
changed so that we the people can elect
them. The governor should not have the
power to appoint board members. I
believe in the direct election of board
members and the restriction of then-
taxing authority."
C m P L A N N IN G :
" If I am elected. I w ill work towards
the restructuring of the planning bureau
cracy The planner must remember that
they represent the people. Thus, the
people must plan an even greater role in
planning for this city. The neighborhood
associations must have the largest roles
in any planning decisions dealing with the
individual neighborhoods."
C E N T R A L IZ E D P O W E R
" If I am elected. I will work towards
the decentralization of power.
This
power belongs to the neighborhoods.
Decisions regarding our schools, police
protection. T n M et should be dealt with
at the neighborhood level."
Cope sees the City Council form of
gov ernment itself as a problem because it
does not allow enough citizen decision
making. “No five people should have
the power to make such mportant dea
sioos' He proposes an assembly made
up of z large number of delegates each
representing a neighborhood, and econo
mic group, or another unit of people
Cope would create a separate assembly
to represent Blacks.

" I believe in preserving Portland's
neighborhoods. I believe that your next
city commissioner should be involved in
the process of getting all governmental
agencies working closer together with
the people to solve the problems of their
neighborhoods. Our city council should
hold their meetings in the neighborhoods
at night so that all of Portland's citizens
can participate in the decision making
process of this city.“

could have representatives in the city's
