At issue was whether the city should allow the group to stay in Portland’s oldest park despite an ordinance that forbids people from being there between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The council’s Public Safety Committee voted 3-0 last week to recommend that the council reject the permit request.
After the vote, John Branson, an attorney for the protesters, said the group will seek a court order to allow it to remain in the park. Press Herald
