LWVPDX Community Education Panel: What Does Multnomah County Do for You?
This webinar clarifies how Multnomah County’s government and programs impact its residents.
Multnomah County has been a recurrent topic in local news lately, from homelessness policy to public safety to Preschool for All. But how much do you really know about the county?
- What are Multnomah County’s structures and powers?
- What services does the county provide?
- How does it divide responsibilities with the cities and towns in its jurisdiction?
- How are county taxes and fees assessed and what do they pay for?
To answer these questions, we have invited a panel of county experts to lead an interactive conversation about what the county does, how it works, and what are its biggest challenges. At least half of the session will be given to answering audience questions. Our panel includes:
- Susheela Jayapal, former Multnomah County Commissioner from 2019-23
- Jeff Renfro, County Economist for Multnomah County
- Denis Theriault, Interim Communication Director for Multnomah County
