They Might Use Money from Their Bureaus to Pay Personal Aides

Considering her illegal use of unpaid interns in running her failed bookstore, this will be the first time Eudaly has ever paid a worker. Zing!

Is there any evidence that actually happened, or is it just something commenters at WW invented?

As a black man I think Mr. Austin will only get my respect if he transforms Amanda Fritz's broken Office of Negligible Importance (ONI) by doing three things:
1) Remove all the classic Amanda retired and NIMBY white women from ONI committees starting with Mira Bells and Linda Nettekoven
2) Fire all the disconnected lazy managers from the suburbs and hire local leaders , and prefereably Eastsiders and people of color. The African American community has never received real service from Brian Hoop, Theresa Marchetti, Stephanie Reynolt, or Mike Boylers. Can them all hire Portlands from the Eastside.

3) Take the Land Use bs out of ONI. Citizens have no voice anyway. Do real community building , not bs NIMBY complaint response from Rich white people in Eastmoreland, Laurelhurst, the West Hills, the Pearl and similar places.

And I'll add a fourth: disband weed and liquor and let the state do its job. Enforcement is not a thing to be located in a community building organization.

If he does all of that, it's money wisely spent compared to a decade of Alarcon's mismanagement and jobs for friends era at ONI.

If he is just another money grubbing bum, fire him after 6 months.

My two Cents

GLV - considering she advertised for an illegally unpaid position on her website, and has never been able to get her shit together financially (and had to launch multiple fundraisers to sustain her bookstore operation), that is all very strong circumstantial evidence pointing to a practice of using unpaid interns in positions that should be paid (cash register, stocking, running the store, etc.). If it were a different person rather than someone you prefer to defend at all costs because you like her housing policy (I'm guessing you are a renter), this would generally be enough evidence to shift the burden onto them to prove they *didn't* follow through with what they were advertising for and how they ran their "business."

Please wait...
