По данным KGW, большая часть налогов, собранных в Портленде на поддержку искусства, ​​ушла на выплаты зарплат сотрудникам офиса по уплате налогов. Органы, которые оказываются в центре внимания – Portland Revenue Bureau и City of Portland Revenue Systems. Закон штата Орегон требует, чтобы 5% всех собранных средств шли на административные расходы. На данный момент это означает, что из 5,3 миллиона долларов, собранных в 2020 году, 269 тысяч долларов были потрачены на административные расходы. Критики утверждают, что траты офиса по уплате налогов не соответствуют ожиданиям налогоплательщиков, которые надеялись, что деньги пойдут на развитие искусства и культуры в городе. Портлендское управление доходов от занятий также заявило, что увеличение затрат на административные расходы обусловлено сложностью сбора налогов во время пандемии COVID-19.
