The Fair Share Tax is a commonsense policy that incentivizes mega-corporations with extreme CEO pay gaps to reduce them and addresses the growing economic inequality that makes it hard for people to afford living in our city.

Austerity is a policy choice, not the only option. When a CEO makes 500 times what a typical worker earns, that is not just a pay gap. It shows an economy rewarding those at the top while workers struggle to afford basic needs.

Every budget season, working people hear the same message: There’s no money. No money for parks. No money for public safety. No money for services families rely on. But somehow, asking corporations with enormous CEO-worker pay gaps to contribute more is unreasonable.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

A neighborhood bakery shouldn’t carry the same tax burden as mega corporations paying their CEOs 100 times more than workers. Our Fair Share Tax would exempt 18,000 small businesses from the business license tax. That gives small businesses breathing room.

1314

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Working people deserve a fair share. Portlanders pay more for rent, groceries, and utilities. Small businesses are fighting to stay open. Meanwhile, CEOs collect enormous paychecks. Why should working people keep carrying the burden while corporations pay less?

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Yesterday, I was proud to stand with all of you and say, Portlanders, it’s time to give our small businesses tax relief, tackle economic inequality, and fund the services you deserve.

From accountants, to musicians, coffee and bagel shops, artists, business alliances, unions, faith leaders, and experts, we heard overwhelmingly supportive testimony for the Fair Share Tax today. It was loud and clear that Portlanders are ready for City Council to pass this, now let's get it done.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

This is a moment for political courage. Working people no longer need lip service; they need action from City Hall. Keep making your voice heard to help us get this out of Committee. Tell your elected officials to put your needs before the billionaires who do not need their support.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Our message is simple: Pay workers more, rein in excessive CEO compensation, or pay higher taxes to support the city you profit from. This is about fighting inequality, leveling the playing field, encouraging higher wages, and generating an estimated $72M annually to protect vital city services.

1273

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The Fair Share Tax would raise the Business License Tax exemption to $500,000 in gross receipts, eliminating the tax for about 18,000 small businesses. It would also raise the existing CEO Pay Ratio Surtax on about 405 publicly traded corporations with extreme CEO-to-worker pay gaps.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Working families are struggling with higher rents, food costs, & bills that keep rising. Small businesses are doing everything they can just to keep their doors open. Meanwhile, publicly traded corporations reward CEOs with enormous paychecks as our city faces cuts to vital services.

1140

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Small business owners, accountants, business alliances, union members, policy experts, and workers spoke in favor. They called for a bold shift: lifting the tax burden from hardworking Portlanders and placing it on corporations stockpiling wealth across the nation.

1150

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Today’s Fair Share Tax testimonies were inspiring and reminded us that we can make progress when we unite to address economic inequality. We deserve an economy that empowers working families and small businesses and strengthens our neighborhoods, not one that benefits only those at the top.

More than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Starbuck's CEO took home $31 million - 1,794 times more their median worker. Live Nation's CEO made $33 million - 976 times the median pay. The system has been rigged against the working class, but the Fair Share Tax starts to change that.

A rally and press conference will be held at 9:00 am in front of City Hall before the meeting. My colleagues and I will join labor leaders, small business owners, and community members at the rally to support small-business tax relief and urge mega corporations to pay their fair share.

Austerity is a policy choice, and working families should not pay for it with their schools.

1252

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Working families already struggle with high housing, food, and childcare costs, and many cannot afford basic necessities. When public resources are limited, further cuts, closures, and reductions in essential services should not be the default response.

1192

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Austerity should not be the only solution for working people. I stand in solidarity with the students, educators, and families opposing these closures. Families deserve a real voice in these decisions, and educators need resources to support our students.

Right now we have a Council that is reticent to say no to the police bureau on just about anything. Oversight is viewed as an attack rather than a partnership. The police bureau should not get to procure new technology without going through the Data Privacy Office, just as every other bureau can’t.

2313

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

When I created Portland’s first Data Privacy Office it was with the intention of investigating any new technologies purchased by the city, or assessing new data collected. Until the office is implemented by the executive branch, PPB will get to pilot new tech with no oversight unless Council says no

Should Portland police test new tech without oversight from the new Office of Data & Privacy? Should they be able to write their own tech policy/procedures? Should they have to send an alert/press release if they plan to pilot new tech? You can have your say - public comment through Oct 31.

I believe in proactive policymaking. That’s why I requested that both the City’s and industry reports be shared with the public so everyone can see the risks, projections, & uncertainties.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

The two items on our agenda today address an important issue with consequential impacts on our city’s future. This matters to me & fellow Portlanders because an environmental catastrophe will have permanent impacts.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Portland’s CEI Hub has 11 fuel terminals on land vulnerable to earthquakes. If a major disaster occurs, hazardous fuel could be released, threatening our neighborhoods, the Willamette River, & public health. The CEI safety concern extends beyond NW Portland.

141

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Today, our agenda includes two proposals about the CEI Hub. One would update zoning and building rules to lower disaster risks. The other would require a 20% cut in fuel storage by 2036. You can join us at this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGDk...

Streetcar benches and shelters, As Portland's only transit-dependent Councilor, I know how transit policy affects daily life, including getting to work, school, appointments, and returning home. Today's agenda focused on PBOT and City-owned streetcar benches and shelters in future ad bids.

Councilor Angelita Morillo @councilormorillo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Street safety, Earlier, I co-sponsored our city's renewed Vision Zero commitment and voted to implement no-turn-on-red restrictions in the high-crash network. Everyone should be able to walk, bike, take transit, or drive without avoidable risks.

Outer East Portland street safety, We've discussed Vision Zero, high-crash corridors, and what safer streets mean. Today's SE Division and SE Stark agenda covered the practical steps the city is taking to address this.
