A personal assurance from Don Mazziotti! He's scrutinized all the other options! That's worth a whole lot...

The same Don Mazziotti who left PDC in disgrace after spending thousands of public dollars for his personal meals and entertainment.

Yep.

Also the same guy who recently assured a room full of people that the soccer/baseball projects would create hundreds of jobs, the "majority of which will pay in the $45,000 to $60,000 range."

Such a statement must be true: it came from Don Mazziotti, right?

Pillar of the community.

Development expert.

However this deal works out, it's already a public relations debacle and a textbook case of how NOT to build public support for a project.

Oddly enough, though, even with his credibility in the toilet, people continue to give money to Don and the Gallatin Group to do public affairs and lobbying work.

Good help must be hard to find these days.

But we must think of the children. Lets turn to our golden god Thomas Lauderdale for the answers! I called his assistant but she said he was too busy composing an opus for the Coliseum and stomping his feet around his apartment.

He's a very important man that Thomas Lauderdale his opinions must be known and presented as the end all of how Portland as a whole feels.

I need a haircut. Anyone know where Amanda Fritz gets hers cut?

Well BOF you’re really asking two questions there. The first one takes me back to 1934. Admiral Burn had just reached the pole, only hours ahead of the Three Stooges.
I guess he won the argument, but I walked away with the turnips. The following morning I resigned my commission with the coastguard. The next thing I knew there was civil war in Spain.
And, that’s everything which happened in my life right up to the time I answered this question.

The trick is to add just a little dollop of butter to the recipe. Makes it taste so fine, yes sirree!

buildng a giant stadium is a complicated issue. I'm glad their trying to save Memorial Coliseum, and I hope the find a good compromise.

What about that spot of land next to OHSU southwaterfront where Cirque De Soleil sets up every year?
