…and other highlights from the city’s second quarter lobbying reports:

In April, police union head Robert King gave Sizer $35 worth of “Dog Treats and Chew Toy[s].”

In May, the chief had a $10 breakfast with Portland Patrol Inc boss John Hren.

Lots of politicos enjoyed the Rose Festival gratis, attending the “Queen’s Garden Party,” the “VIP Rose Festival Reception,” and the “VIP Golden Rose Party.” (Commissioner Dan Saltzman seems to have skipped the festivities, but walked away with a $35 “Picture in Frame” from the Rose Festival crew.)

Four women at city hall–staffers for Mayor Tom Potter, and Commissioners Sam Adams and Randy Leonard–attended the “National conference for Urban Initiatives on Reproductive Health sponsored by National Institute for Reproductive Health,” at $1,500 a pop.

Potter pulled in the most gifts last quarter: $2,766.89 worth, most of that for a trip to China. (Including $1200 in “Round trip airfare from Portland to Suzhou, China paid for by the Portland Suzhou Sister City Association.”) He also snagged two “jackets from the Rose Festival Association to be worn at all Rose Festival events, specifically the Grand Floral Parade,” a $50 value. Classy.

Then there’s the “master spreadsheet” of all lobbying contacts–the names, subject and dates of all meeting with registered lobbying entities for the last three months. Check out the PDF, here.

One reply on “Dog Treats for Police Chief Rosie Sizer…”

  1. Ms. Ruiz:

    Now that their self-serving smoke-screen report is out, it’s appropriate to see what they are hiding behind it.

    Not that I don’t trust public officials, but. . . I don’t and no one should.

    I remain your humble servant,

    Jacomus
