Story summary

Multnomah County commissioners Julia Brim-Edwards and Meghan Moyer will propose cutting the Moda Center contribution by $35 million.
The amendment would drop the $35 million Business Income Tax revenue from the team’s sale, which they say could help cover a $60 million deficit.
A second amendment seeks a $4.5 million-per-year revenue stream through 2049, bringing projected taxpayer cost to nearly $140 million.
Shannon Singleton warned the changes might jeopardize the Trail Blazers’ future.
