In the most recent issue of the Portland Business Journal you will find an op-ed piece giving the Mayor a spanking on taking frequent trips outside the country. In the last three months our honorable Mayor has visited Belgium, Taiwan,and most recently, Toronto. Does Sam The Sham know there are 137,000 Stumptowners out of work? That is 11% of his city. One in every 165 homes are in foreclosure and the list goes on. I mentioned this story to a friend, and he replied "Wouldn't YOU want to be out of town if you were Sam Adams? I guess he has a point. This Mayor is pure poison and it looks like we are stuck with him. The recall effort needed more funding, pure and simple. It is not dead yet, but it will take a miracle.
To all PDXERS:
My point in writing this is simple,my home is here,I have worked here until recently laid off, my desire to be a good neighbor, be aware of issues of the community, and support those that want it to grow in a safe and sane way.
My opinion is mine...I can,(so far)freely express it, so here goes.
The mayor has never....EVER, with the exception of special interest groups.REPRESENTED..ALL OF ITS CITIZENS!
I do not care....if you fall into those groups, and my disgust for his lying,his stupid projects that avoid and push out the basics of what really narrow things the city should do, are way to numerous to mention.
There was the same disgust for his "GOD MOTHER" Vera Katz, so it didn't surprise me at all...he clearly followed her deep foot prints on Portland.
OK...here it is, SEND MONEY...SIGN A RECALL SHEET, TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO SIGN.
If your saying that your in special interest groups and wish to keep him...OK, but that is not going to benefit the city as a whole....IN FACT...it may just bankrupt it, with more boondoggles supported by him or RANDY LEONARD.
You either have a job, or pay rent....if tax's go to high, you will lose your home, or you can't pay your rent.
If your a union group....you can only suck the life out of the people here so long...and you WILL BE LAID OFF AS WELL.
If your fire or cops....unfunded pensions should worry you to the core, right now.
STOP SAM NOW, RECALL HIM, and if Leonard doesn't stop with the BULLY stuff...drop him as well.
There is a reason for the rough town halls...trust me, they all aren't just us "evil REPUBS", in time if some of the current crap isn't stopped...you will be there as well.

JP, don't worry. If the recall fails, you can bet that will only make Sammy cockier. He is his own worst enemy and surely he will do something to top all his antics so far which will lead to his downfall. Mark my words - he will do himself in politically before serving a complete term.

Randy should be next for his persecution of Papas' Greek Cusina. Although permit noncompliance is not acceptable, there are amicable resolutions available.
I still don't know who votes for these losers. Keep Portland Mediocre.

Ranz; I agree...but I wanted to see him walk out of City hall and RANDY in tears so bad, but you are so correct...He will get "overcockier" (can I say that?) I also say Randy is the most dangerous, and could really mess things up even worse then SAM.
