Re: “Leonard Says He'll Be "Happy To Expand" On Chasse Concerns Next Week”
Randy Leonard doesn't give a damn about James Chasse. It's appalling that Randy is trying to use the tragic death of a mentally ill person to blackmail his colleagues on City Council into allowing him to run his own personal police force.
What an ass.
Re: “Mayor Adams Courts Fire-Conjuring Chinese”
So the Mayor's economic development plan is to spend public dollars recruiting and subsidizing a Chinese company to move here and compete against the State's biggest most successful company, Nike?
Exactly how is this a good idea?
Re: “Avatar Trailer.”
This movie looks like a huge piece of crap. Why is it getting so much hype?
Re: “It's Not Enough That He's A Nazi Who Wants To Euthanize Old Folks And Turn Everyone Else Into Socialist Zombies”
What an idiot.
Of course, on the other side of the political spectrum, there are idiots who want to use CRC tolls to pay for health care.
Re: “$24,000 On Public Agency Credit Card: Too Much?”
Both Bragdon and Woolson are good guys. But, their working relationship has been irreparably damaged by this feud. Once Metro passes their resolution to take tighter control of MERC, Woolson is going to get the shaft.
Still though, I don't think Woolson has done anything wrong. He reports to the MERC Commission. The MERC Commission wants Woolson to advocate for a HQ Hotel, and similar projects. Woolson has only done what his bosses asked of him.
And having an after-hours work meeting at American Cowgirls isn't scandalous. I've been to that joint a dozen times for happy hour, and there was never any dancing on the bar or an amateur stripper pole. There weren't any customers either. Which is why the joint is no longer in business.
Re: “Leonard: Can't Now Support MLS...”
Leonard needs to let this go. When hundreds of citizens show up at a public meeting, outraged by the proposed stadium, it is a pretty clear indication of public opinion.
If the URAC still holds a vote, and if they vote to proceed with the stadium, and if the city council agrees with that recommendation, then it will be a slap in the face to the families in the Lents neighborhood.
It's time to forget about the Beavers, let Paulson try to look elsewhere for a AAA baseball stadium, and focus the debate on the merits of remodeling PGE park to accommodate an MLS franchise.
This will still be a waste of public dollars, but at least it will have a smaller price tag.
Re: “BREAKING NEWS: Study Shows Beavers Stadium Deal Would Create "Net Job Loss"”
Charlie Johnson, I've seen some of your past studies, and think you do good work.
That being said, if you want to conduct a study on the impacts of this ballpark, maybe you should submit your resume at City Hall, rather than the Blogtown message board.
Strange as it seems, the Mayor's Office does not confer with the blogtown crowd when making hiring decisions for their consultants.
