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.

11 you answered yes to those questions up there,
you should talk to us about a loan.
N o kidding.
You see, we’ve come up with something called
The Opportunity Loan. Its a more flexible version ot die
regular way we lend money.
O f course, were still a bank. And banks have to
say legal stuft like we’re an equ;il opportunity lender,
member FDIC. And, we can’t actually promise you the
money in this ad.
But, if you call or come fill out an application,
your odds of gening the

j
money you need g o up
considerably.
