A man, a plan, a Kanal: Propaganda

There's a Portland City Council election this fall, but it's a little early for the campaign porn to start showing up in the mailbox from the taxpayer-subsidized candidates. And it's way too early to be getting that stuff from somebody who isn't running for re-election until 2028. But that's what I got on Saturday, a four-page 8½-by-11 inch full-color glossy mailer from one of my three representatives on the council. And guess who, my least favorite one.

This fellow has too much taxpayer money on his hands. You wonder how much it cost in time and materials to get this shinola into every household in his district. I thought there was a budget crunch. Apparently I was mistaken.

I don't care if he sends me an adorable puppy, I'll never vote for that dude. He's one of the far-left malignant cells that's got the city tied up in knots. One or two fewer of those extremists on the council, and we've got at least a chance of digging out of the current hole (whch is approaching its second decade). 

Voters on the west side and in southeast, it's up to you this fall. Please pay attention this time! The Che Guevara types have got to go, and it's going to take a concerted effort to send them packing, given the insane version of "rank choice" voting that they've put in place. 

Remember: "Together we're creating the Portland we deserve." That much, I agree with.
