The mayor of Portland, Oregon, is threatening to pull the city out of the F-B-I's Joint Terrorism Task Force unless he and the city's police chief get a higher security clearance.

The people of Portland elected this Mayor. It's up to them to make the Mayor accountable to them. If they don't want to be part of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, so be it. There's plenty of other cities in America for the FBI to protect. Time for Portlanders to get involved if they don't like what their Mayor and city officials plan for them. They have the right to opt out. Let their loss be another city's gain!

Yep, they would be wise to leave them in place.
