Portland failed to meet some of its promises on 10-cent gas tax, audit says
Portland has fallen behind in delivering dozens of transportation projects described in a 2016 voter-approved gas tax, failed to provide annual audits or updates to City Council and provided incomplete, inconsistent, and outdated information to a citizen group tasked with monitoring the projects.
