The settlement avoids a jury trial that would have started next week.

Former Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty has accepted $680,000 from the city’s police union and two officers to settle claims that officers shared information that falsely implicated her of committing a hit-and-run.

PPB should have been shut down and the city should have cut ties with PPA. Move our funding to MCSO until city council changes and a different police force could be formed.
