PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The Portland City Council has approved
Mayor Ted Wheeler’s revised public camping ordinance.

Under the new ordinance, unhoused people who refuse access
to reasonable, alternate shelter may face up to a $100 fine and/
or up to seven days in jail.

The ordinance was passed on an emergency basis so it takes
effect immediately, but the mayor says it could take several
weeks before it’s enforced. (THEN AGAIN, MAYBE NEVER)

On May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation that officially establishes the first national Mother’s
Day holiday to celebrate America’s mothers.

Anna Maria Jarvis (1864 – 1948) was the
founder of Mother’s Day in the United
States.
