Diane Linn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diane Linn was the County Chair of Oregon's Multnomah County from January 2003 to January 2007.
Her four year term as Chair of the five member Multnomah County Board of Commissioners began in January 2003, after she'd won the previous November's election. When she ran for reelection in 2006, she was defeated in the primary election by Ted Wheeler. Under her watch and direction, in March 2004, Multnomah County began issuing same-sex marriage licenses (which were later ruled to be legally invalid, forcing the refund of nearly 3,000 marriage certificate fees).
She holds a BA in Political Science and a certificate in Urban Studies from Portland State University.
