While you're monitoring city hall, how about you try to convince them to pass an ordinance that makes it legal for the Portland Mercury and other papers to place newsracks on Portland sidewalks. Under current Portland law, they are illegal, but the city looks the other way. I love the Portland Mercury, but I am greatly annoying by your boxes that are illegally chained to city property such as street signs, street laps, and TriMet shelters. Shame on you guys.
