Portland mayor’s plan to reduce gun violence this summer lacks detail
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announced a new gun violence initiative last week that is big on ambition but short on specifics. Shareef Khatib, who spent 13 years working in various roles at two of the top USAID contract recipients on overseas development projects overseeing U.S. foreign aid, will take the helm of Portland’s latest gun violence reduction initiative, a yet to be defined $2.4 million program.
