Portland issues maximum fine on feds for unpermitted fence outside courthouse; bill is $192,000 and countingPortland Commissioner Chloe Eudaly said Tuesday the city is fining the federal government $500 every 15 minutes the maximum charge allowed -- until it removes an unpermitted fence blocking a bike lane on Southwest Third Avenue.
Eudaly, who oversees the transportation bureau, said the government hasnt responded to her demand to remove the fence, which surrounds a portion of the federal courthouse. She said the bill is now $192,000 and counting.
We intend to collect, Eudaly, who is running for reelection, said in a tweeted statement. She also described the forces at the courthouse as federal occupiers.
The fence has become the centerpiece of nightly protests as the months-long marches and demonstrations devoted to racial justice and curbing police excesses escalated in recent days with the arrival of federal law enforcement teams staged at the courthouse.
