Reminder of the Mayor Wheeler days and how bad things looked. This missing money stuff happened on his watch and it was turned up by the great new oversight of our current city council.
Another exit interview, still no mention of Adams that I can tell with a keyword search of this partial transcription. Bringing in a toxic person, making wild proposals, starting feuds with the county.
I'll listen to the whole thing later.

If listening to Mayor (for two more days) Ted Wheeler answer my questions for 35 minutes isn't your jam, I transcribed a few standout answers from our conversation. Read (or listen!) here:

"It’s hard not to read these files and come to the conclusion that Epstein helped engineer the ultimate elite impunity — in which our society has been totally destroyed so the richest and most powerful men in the world can do whatever they want."

A dingleberry on the butt of the city, leftover by that turd, former mayor Fed Wheeler.
Hopefully this scandal is the paper that finally wipes Ryan away so we can actually make progress in PDX.

The city of Portland routinely acts as if sheltering our unhoused population, and creating affordable housing is an insurmountable task; I suppose it is when you’re sitting in $106 MILLION DOLLARS that is earmarked for just that.
Fucking despicable.

$106 Million in unappropriated housing funds???
Helmi Hisserich discovered $21 Million in unspent funds, and was fired for mentioning it.
This now exceeds the reported 2025/26 operational fiscal budget deficit by $6 Million!
These dollars could’ve kept people housed!

In case you're curious what your DA is doing instead of standing with the community who got viciously tear gassed by ICE this weekend:
1. Covered trial call for a photo op;
2. Prosecuting a misdo resist claim against an
ICE protester to run cover for the PPB cop who broke that protester's arm.

I also don’t want to discount that police are in a genuinely weird spot. The Feds have power over them jurisdictionally.
That doesn’t mean they can’t do anything!
They could be tracking and documenting ICE incidents, collecting info on munitions, turn evidence over to the District Attorney, etc

Police should not get paid to only address Portland protestors & not protect Portlanders when federal agents have crossed horrific lines
There are ways to act that are not directly interfering with ICE if that poses a legal problem, and we need leadership to get creative in outlining/directing that

[redacted]: Hey Seth, we've been working through the edit and it's looking like we aren't going to be able to make it work. We were kind of pummeled by the news cycle in the last 6 weeks and are going to pivot away from this story. Thanks for the time you put into it and for your expertise.
