In this month’s edition of “Portland Rising,” the news, arts, and interview program produced by the Portland Phoenix and the Portland Media Center, Editor Marian McCue explores two of the most important Nov. 8 city ballot questions, 2 and 5. Question 2 would give an elected mayor more administrative authority and change the structure of the council; Question 5 would remove the city council’s authority over the school budget. Her guests are Emily Figdor, Michael Brennan, Pat Washburn and Tom Allen.
