At the Port of Portland, with shipping container service dropping to a fraction of what it once was, cranes sit idle and the docks are empty. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek says her support for container shipping at the Port of Portland "has not wavered" even if lawmakers don't soon vote on $5 million to sustain such operations.

"I am staying the course, I just wanted to be clear on that," Kotek said during a roundtable interview with reporters on Dec. 3.
