Well, Eileen Brady, of New Seasons fame, lost. She’s from the Katz/Adams wing of the party. Hales and Smith will be in the run-off for Mayor of Portland, both much more fiscally sound than we’ve seen since Bud Clark.
Even Portland seems to want their potholes fixed, and no more bike paths, trolleys or trams.
A Clackamas County PAC is running against Portland Creep...I love their ads. ;o)
In short, it’s going to be a different election than we’ve seen in the last 20 years...almost like 2010.
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?
