Ed Washington Seeks Metro

Ed W ashington, Deputy Prcsid-

Ed was appointed to M etro in

seat in both the M ay Primary and
vcmbcrGcneral Elections in 1992.
D uring his tenure at M etro, Ed

plus an additional m onthly increase
in their garbage b ill. Ed also voted to
reduce the M etro budget by $30 m il
lion fo r the budget year, 1993-94. Ed
was instrumental in getting an o rd i
nance through the council to address
the issue o f m in ority m arketing in the
region, a first step in bringing more
m inority and w om en’ s conventions
to the Portland area.
Ed believes that the single most

mandated by the new charter. The
kicker is, how arc we going to pay fo r
it?, since no funding was included
w ith the charter recommendation. Ed
is opposed to any new taxes until
there is absolute justi fication for them.
Ed is a firm believer that we must
save as much o f our natural areas as
we can fo r future generations. It is
im portant that we find some way to
fund the Green Spaces program. Metro
must continue to w ork w ith its part
