Let's draft somebody good for Portland mayor | BoJack

With the mayor of Portland not running for re-election, we're left with just three or four candidates for mayor, none of whom are too promising, or interesting. There's still time -- why can't we get some better blood into the race? Folks like:

Bob Miller
Darcelle
One of the McMenamin brothers
Ted Wheeler
Dwight Holton
Dave Lister
Maxine Bernstein
Tom Potter
Sho Dozono
Ron Tonkin
Kate Brown
Victoria Taft
Lew Frederick
Carrie Brownstein
Al Margulies
Greg Oden
Dennis Kucinich

Whaddya say, Portland?

Sometimes it can pay to evade the fares

Subway Fare Evaders May Have Upper Hand

Frequent service to Milwaukie will soon be a thing of the past

We can thank the rotten orange line for that because if TriMet didn't love rail so much around here this could be a possibility:

      We will never solve this American debt crisis. We're going broke fast and it will be like falling down a long staircase. The federal government will never recover. It will pretend to be in charge of things that continue to fall apart, and eventually its pretenses will be seen for what they are - and then it will be every community for itself. (The same can be said of the states, and even the counties.)
