Holycats: that's the joke I would have made.

Portland is homogenously white, culturally sterile and clueless.

Portlanders define themselves by the beer they drink and their petty, pathetic first world concerns.

Portland is "diverse" to people who have never ventured outside of Portland.

Portland denizens capture the entire spectrum, from beige to translucent.

Just a touch more digging seems to point to the hoax reports being the /actual/ hoax.

So...fuck. He's dead. Fuck that.

#2 - The UV treatment plant won't get built because the city DID get a waiver from the state for treatment for cryptosporidium. Bull Run will still be one of the last unfiltered water supplies in a major US metro area.

#3 - Portland's water rates aren't higher than Seattle's, or several other major US cities. Portland's water and sewer bills are combined and may seem high because you only get a bill every three months. It costs about 4X as much to flush your toilet as it does to fill it. A gallon of Bull Run water still costs the average residential customer less than half a penny. That's a pretty good bargain, if you ask me. Most people pay more on a monthly basis to Comcast for internet and cable service, and other basic utilities like gas and electric as well.

#4 - Much of Portland's in-town water storage and distribution system is aging and in need of repair. This is where the money is being spent. Not only are the open reservoirs prone to contamination from bird poop, people peeing in them, etc., they are also old and constructed of unreinforced concrete which is not likely to survive a major earthquake.

But don't let the facts get in your way. Go ahead, stand up and fight back!

:rolleyes:

I was invited to Dj this show, but had to decline since I'm spinning that night at Gold Dust Meridian. Apparently the memo never made it to the weeklies though.

Anyway, folks should definitely check out this early show at the Know, then swing by Meridian for the after party. I recommend BOTH! - Nathan Carson aka Dj Nate C
