As for the City of Portland’s issues, I do it without shame because I believe in it. Theoretically Amanda Fritz is “one of my bosses,” and I was an early supporter of hers–but I don’t agree with her on the stadium project at all. And I’ve been adamant that the repeated attempts to revive sit/lie are a sad and ultimately illegal waste of time. I support a smaller CRC, the suspension (although not killing) of Convention Hotel talks, was ambivalent about Lents and wouldn’t have supported what Paulson asked of Beaverton–but Randy Leonard drove a much better bargain almost without City risk. I think the way Council has allowed Chasse to fester has been very disturbing. But yeah, I think Adams deserves to stay and continue to earn back respect, I think Randy is refreshing and generally honest if a bit unpredictable, and I thought Erik Sten was the shit, still do. It has nothing to do with being employed by CoP, honestly.

Thanks for reading!
