October 2,1991...The Portland Observer...Page 7 Former Gang Member’s Decision Commissioner Bogle Applauds Proposed Civil Rights Ordinance City Commissioner Dick Bogle took a strong stand on behalf of welfare mothers, the elderly and other public assistance recipients at last week’s (Sept 25) City Council hearing on Portland’s proposed Civil Rights Ordinance. “ There can be no equality as long as individuals are barred from housing they can afford, simply because they depend for their incomes on some form of public assistance," Bogle said, re ferring to language in the ordinance which prohibits landlords from refus ing to rent because of a tenant’s source of income. The ordinance, which is expected to be approved at the City Council hearing on October 2, bans discrimina tion in housing, employment and pub lic accommodations based on race, religion, color, sex, marital status, familial status, national origin, age, disability, source of income or sexual orientation. All but the latter two categories are protected under state and federal laws. S tressing the need for the source of income provision, Bogle told of people he knows “ who are filled w ith an ‘ only- in-America’ sense of pride when they hear of a welfare child who’s attained greatness in his or her life.” He termed this feeling “ after-the- fact” pride. “ What is needed is Be fore-the-fact caring, which can come only with during-the-fact access to clean and decent housing,” Bogle concluded. The city’s first comprehensive Civil Rights Ordinance was introduced by Commissioner Mike Lindberg and co sponsored by Bogle, Commissioners Kafoury and Blumenauer, and Mayor Clark. continued from front page HEAT AND FROST INSULATORS & ASBESTOS WORKERS JATC erre’s future.
