Multnomah County Chair Jeff Cogen is accusing Portland Mayor Sam Adams of waffling on an agreement to help finance the Sellwood Bridge replacement project.
Adams promised to commit $8 million a year in state transportation funds to the project in 2009. But Cogen said Adams has resisted for 18 months signing a formal agreement to that effect.
According to Cogen, Adams has continuously asked for more and more concessions from the county, including authority for all county-owned bridges, something Cogen said cannot be done without state approval.
