Decent human beings don’t bury their Bureau’s water lead crises…
You paved the way for another coverup of excessive lead in🚰, exposing thousands - esp babies & vulnerable customers - to toxic lead!
WE ARE THANKFUL for the inter/national experts who told us the truth, as our own official lied.🤥

The (unofficial) mayoral advisor & likely City’s highest-compensated, is City Administrator Mike Jordan.
👀Twas City Admin Jordan who sent the Oct 30 email announcing Hisserich’s leave.
“No specific reason was provided [by Jordan] for the major staffing decision.”

📫 to Mayor Wilson,
Just bcs advisor/City Admin Mike Jordan’s been at City Hall forever, and got into UO on a baseball scholarship…
that hardly makes him a wise advisor.
In contrast, Hisserich has WAY more to offer you (and Portland):
