"""To Members of the Portland Community: As organizations committed to ensuring all Mainers have access to safe, affordable housing, we are writing today to raise our concerns with Portland Question C, which will appear on the city's ballot this election. Portland Question C is called a """"Green New Deal"""" by its proponents, but the proposal, which is more than 15 pages long, also includes provisions unrelated to energy efficiency, the production of renewable energy or sustainability. Question C would have severe, negative repercussions for efforts to increase the availability of affordable housing in Portland."""
