The sorriest commissioner
KPAM's reporting (but not on its website, apparently) that Multnomah County Chair Diane Linn has called a press conference for tomorrow, where she's going to apologize for the galling lack of public process in the county's short-lived legalization of gay marriage earlier this year.
I guess she's not such a courageous champion of civil rights after all.
Diane, what about your constitutional conscience, which supposedly required you to sneak around and start issuing the marriage licenses without any public discussion?
Funny how a recall campaign can slap some sense into a politician.

Jon, my other hot button for local news is 750. That's you, right?

It is....you know I am just giving you a hard time right?

Well, I do feel some shame when Lars says something nice about me.

Lars says nice things about people?
Definately kidding on that one...

Oh, Diane. What a cynical cop out. Feh. Jeez, how many local figures do I have to slap around in a single week?

Oh here we go. The Tribune has it up now.

The apology with 'interview' attached is now onsite at the government house organ, oregonlive.com. Linn's apology is listed right below Bush's. How apropos.
If I were queen, I'd say, "We Are Not Impressed."
