Glad Eileen Brady bit the dust. She has never done anything but marry into the New Season’s ownership. I’m not a fan of Charlie Hales, and it is pretty much a given that Jefferson is a mental case, but even so, they have to be better than what we have had.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I miss Bud Clark!
Hey, all, Oregon can be surprising. Remember (if you are old enough) that Oregon did not give Bobby Kennedy a win. I know, shocking, huh?
The grocery lady seems to be a very nice person, and I’m thankful that they ran such a clean race. There was a write up about how positive the race was in the HuffPost by Joe Trippi.
I don’t agree with Charlie Hales or Jefferson Smith, but both of them seem to be two who are coming to grips with the reality that Portland can’t afford to create all of those bike paths, or the CRC, and they are fiscally more sound than any mayor since Bud Clark.
IMO, Jefferson Smith could do with some Ritalin, but that might diminish his effectiveness.
I moved here when Bud Clark was the Mayor, so he is the one who, to me, was the most conservative.
That’s a shame.
BTW, I remember Bobby Kennedy, so it’s not a shock to me. Not only that, but Oregon went for Reagan.
Good times...lol
