The other no. 2
In yesterday's post about the staff goings-on at the ever-more-pointless Portland Development Commission, we noted that Kimberly Branam would be one of two new deputy directors to car-hating CEO Patrick Quinton, but we didn't know who the other deputy was. An alert reader pointed out that it's Keith Witcosky, who has been serving as the in-house lobbyist for PDC. Now as deputy director, his duties will include communications as well as government relations, which is a definite leapfrog over John Jackley, who is still shown on the PDC website as "Director of Communications and Business Equity."
The O describes Witcosky as "politically savvy... a regular at City Hall and long ago a former advisor for Mayor Vera Katz." Ewwww.

Slick is an apt description of Mr. Witcosky.
