Attention, citizens of Portland: I have been sworn in at a private ceremony and am now officially your mayor. As part of my assumption of control over all city bureaus, I am hereby taking over all the posting on this blog indefinitely, for up to the next six months.
I want to reconnect City Hall with all of the residents of the Rose City once again. And it's obvious that the best way to do this is to prevent the other four commissioners from taking any official action for a good long while.
I will be back in touch at some point. That is all.
