This morning, Charlie Hales was publicly sworn in as Portland’s 52^nd Mayor. 

Mayor Hales begins his administration with three priorities – wisely spending taxpayer dollars, ensuring public safety and a good community relationship with police, and great public education.

Newly-elected Commissioner Steve Novick was sworn in on January 1 at the Multnomah Arts Center.

Rob Manning from OPB caught up with Nick for a quick interview about what the future will hold for City Hall with Mayor Hales and Commissioner Novick.
