Portland is good and the Blazers fan base is world class. These crybaby business people should stop blaming everyone else for their problems and pick themselves up by their own bootstraps.

It’s so funny to repeatedly insinuate that the Blazers haven’t kept the arena in a first class standard, admit publicly that this is a point of leverage for the city, and repeatedly demand that the city simply give away its leverage.

This is why the police tried to create a scandal: they knew they weren’t going to get enough signatures certified to be on the ballot.

This is unhinged behavior from Safer Portland & the police union president. Last time the campaign got caught lying to Portlanders about their initiative they attempted a red scare. Just run an honest campaign instead of whatever nonsense this is.

Throwing a public tantrum because they thought they had backroomed their way into free public money. This is embarrassing. Just do the market deal Tom Dundon keeps publicly saying he’ll do.

Did Mayor Wilson intentionally give media the wrong impression so he could try to act like he’s in control of this process or…?
Mitch GreenSome media outlets are reporting on the Moda term sheet with some framing that is suggesting that Council sent it terms. Not the case. Let me clarify what happened yesterday 🧵
Nearly every elected office holder — Wyden, Kotek, Dem leadership in the legislature, Wilson — is trying to turn the screws on the Portland City Council to sign for a bad deal we don’t even have full information about. This shows how inept and servile most of our elected officials are.
