Dan Saltzman Scandals

Smirkery: Dan Saltzman Scandal

The Mercury (here) has the story of the Portland City Commissioner approving $600,000.00 in city money to his girlfriend's charity--without disclosing the conflict.

What is it about the enlarged libido and lechery of our liberal white male Portland City Council members that invariably manifests itself in lax judgement, lewd and lascivious behavior? One thing we apparently didn't appreciate about Sam was his fiscally prudent lies and lustful predation. This seemingly (or is it seedily) contrasts with the luxurious love feast cultivated by our arboreal luminary on the City Council. His lavish budgetary tryst leaves one wondering why it isn't time for change and regeneration of the entire City Council!

With who Pete? For sure we'll just get another crop of the same style ultra liberal morons that cherish political correctness from sound governing and management. Maybe the GOP candidate Bob Forthan would be a good choice. At least he's a moron who doesn't understand English much less reality. That way he has a built in excuse for mistakes.

Dj, "At least he's a moron who doesn't understand English much less reality." Sounds like a perfect candidate for Saltzman's position. The only reality he needs face is that Saltzman awakens from a vegetative state every four years to the delight of arboreal defenders throughout the city and to run for reelection. Mary Volm is probably a more realistic candidate in terms of knowledge of the internal workings of City Hall and having the possibility of winning. She put her job on the line in opposing Adams over his ethics scandal and was summarily dismissed by Adams last Summer after two decades of service. She is obviously far more ethical than anyone currently on the Council. And while she is liberal she at least seems to understand the plight of small and mid size businesses and the reasons behind their flight from downtown Portland. Also she has an extensive understanding of Transportation issues. For example, she has railed against the failure of City Hall to properly maintain it's existing transportation infrastructure. For example, the City's failure to maintain NW 23rd Avenue over the past two decades, diverting funds to other more "favored" projects, has dramatically increased the scope and cost of its current reconstruction. Victoria has had Volm on several times and I have to respect Victoria's judgement on this race.

Michael Courtney is the true fiscal conservative in this race. Who? Then what do we do after that? Mary may occasionally throw fiscal sanity a bone.
