Here's a classic use of Portland City Hall staff time.

Folks who post on this blog know that I am not an apolgist for City Hall, or for Randy, but.....
1. This appears to emminate from the Fire Bureau, not City Hall;
2. For generations, in PDX and elsewhere, firehouses have had fire fighters cook, and cook a lot of food very nicely;
3. The nature of the fire suppression business by definition requires a huge amountof waiting around time, waiting for the call to come in which sends the "house" out to a fire, or a road accident, or on some other EMT type call.
4. Given what I see in other Bureaus (BDS; BPS; Water: BES), I'm having a problem getting all worked up about this as a waste of fire bureau employee time.
The recipe itself came from one of the city's seven-figure army of "public information officers." And surely one or more additional central office "tweeters" were involved.
We use "City Hall" to denote city government generally. Try to catch on.

Your mileage may vary.
