Ominous notice
Here's news that Portland's sewage treatment plant in the Foothills section of Lake Oswego was leaking bad stuff the other day. This is the sewage treatment plant that will have to be moved if Homer Williams is to build his precious condo complex in that vicinity. We can probably expect to hear a lot in the coming months about how old and dangerous the sewage plant is. It will behoove us Portland sewer users to pay to move it! Uh huh.

But doesn't all that leakage give texture to the river landscape and perhaps a venue for performance art?

Where will all that rareified poop go if that old plant is taken away?
And I was always told that LO poo doesn't stink anyway.

There are complaints about the stink. I always thought the City should have put out a RFP for functional art to enhance the sewer plant. Something like a giant bronze match with an eternal flame.

An eternal flame with the current mayors name on it! That would be an appropriate
legacy since he's such a stinker.....

If anyone wonders why can no longer afford our own government at every level that notice website provides all one needs.
Take any of the links in any direction and the massive monster appears.
I clicked a few levels in one direction and found this.

The enormity of bureaucracy and cost that is behind this single report is scary.
I'm sure many people would say if we were not wasting billions on the military budget we could easily afford all of this this stuff.
But we need all of this?

INFO: the first page tells you all you need to know. See? It shows a window that can be opened! Can't get any more "green and sustainable" than that! It's a revolutionary concept!

LO poo smells like fresh roses!
Rich people can live better lives.

Look for Randy's chief of staff's fingerprints on the handle of the sewage release valve.
