Edit: I just saw that another person already posted an article about this six or so hours before this from another news agency, so that's my bad mods. I'll try to check more thoroughly next time 😅

Summary:

Kotek and the Oregon Business Council will convene a panel of local elected officials, business executives and civic leaders beginning later this month...

Dan McMillan, president of insurance company The Standard, will co-chair the task force with the governor.

A final roster of confirmed participants will be forthcoming... Mayor Ted Wheeler and Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson have both been invited to join...

The first meeting of the task force will take place Aug. 22, and the group will reconvene in September and October, according to the governor’s office. The group plans to issue a series of recommendations at the Oregon Plan Business Leadership Summit in December.
