"Private" tour, eh? Why do I get the feeling that's going to end with a certain young mayor having his gray slacks at his ankles, standing there in his undershorts going, "What?"
Make sure you check out Taste of Village for some Thai food. I've never eaten there, but oh that name.
>> "largest brownfield clean-up site in Oregon ("And it cost — are you sitting down?" says Kight. "213 million dollars to clean up!"'
i wonder what company got that $213 MILLION contract...i wonder why the company that created the toxic waste field (aka 'brownfield') isn't paying? i wonder why...
Other fact about Troutdale: after the swearing-in ceremony, each new mayor of Troutdale is required to have both the Arch and "Gateway to the Gorge" tattooed on their lower back.
@rich bachelor. Are you implying that Mr. Kight is going to try and FUCK our dear Ms. Zielinski? Or are you merely suggesting that Troutdale, fiscally, tighten their belt?
Our beloved mayor forgot to mention that the arch came in just slightly over budget. Original budget in the $70.000 range and final numbers, in excess of $250000.
Interesting too that he did not mention the fight he has ongoing with his own council and the illegal building he has on his property.
Troutdale is real, and IS a nice place to live, just needs new staff that can actually build a budget that is real, and a mayor that follows the rules he expects others to follow.
