Even in biblical times, tax collectors weren't well regarded. Thus, it is a true testament to her likability that Revenue Sue made it to the Final Four on Survivor Portland City Hall: Bureaucracy Edition. But that's as far as she got, and yesterday's Tribal Council vote banished her from the island, leaving just three of her fellow Portland city agency heads behind. Revenue Bureau Director Sue Klobertanz, your torch has been extinguished. You must leave the island immediately, and no extensions of time will be granted. Please don't forget to pay the transient lodging "user fee" on your way out.

Some Tribal Council members theorized that without the tax collector, the rest of the cast couldn't survive. Although that might be how it would work in the real world, those rules don't apply here. And so we have three cast members left -- Chief Dave, Ken, and Lisa -- two of whom must leave us over the next couple of days. All immunity idols have been put away; it's all in your hands now, Tribal Council.

Chief Dave
Fire Chief Dave Sprando

Ken
Interim Chief Administrative Officer Ken Rust

Lisa
Emergency Communications Bureau Director Lisa Turley

Time to vote. Bounce another city agency head out of the picture. Do it for any reason, or for no reason, but cast your vote just once a day, please. We'll keep at this, today and tomorrow, until only one bureaucrat survives. Good luck, remaining cast members!
