  A businessman with no experience in public office is taking over as mayor of Oregon's biggest city as it embraces an entirely new system of government — one that's so different, the City Council chambers had to be completely renovated.

Portland, Oregon, has inaugurated a new mayor, Mike Schmidt, and a new form of government aimed at addressing the city's challenges, particularly homelessness. Schmidt, who campaigned on a promise to end homelessness, was sworn in alongside a new city council under a revised government structure that shifts from a commission-based system to one with a city administrator and a larger council. This change aims to improve efficiency and focus on critical issues like housing, public safety, and economic development. The new government structure is part of a broader effort to tackle the city's ongoing issues, including a significant homeless population, by fostering better governance and policy implementation.
