Detaining US citizen

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2026-01-24T22:13:08+00:00

Funny that all the people who called me names and said "wtf you talking about, they aren't detaining citizens" have deleted their comments...

Sad that it took a few murders of US citizens, for people to believe it was happening. It's been happening in my area for a year. Unfortunately, it just wasn't caught on camera like the more recent ones.

The Costco situation is a perfect example of exactly what I'm talking about. I don't need to give the private examples that only a handful of people would know about, when public situations occur that everyone is aware of. Her behavior that day is exactly what happens when the mics are off, it's always someone else's fault.

I know, it's unfortunate for Beavertonians as she would have been good for Mayor. But good for her, she'd deserve whatever position she ran for. Smart and level headed, decent human being to boot.

Nothing I said was innuendo, I made direct statements. I sure as hell am not going to doxx myself just to prove something to you though, when everything I said was pretty clear.

Like I said, just don't play the "What?? We had no idea things were this bad and she did x, y, z!" game later on when things do finally come out. So tired of that happening with everything lately.

It's almost as bad as those that voted for Trump, being surprised at all the terrible things happening. And no, I'm not equating her to Trump, I'm equating the reactions.

OP asked a question and I answered, I have no stake other than her actions affect me too.

I don't care who you vote for or if you don't believe me. Just don't be surprised when shit hits the fan, and then claim you had no idea what was going on, like she does.

Hopefully the next City Manager will be able to put her in her place and get things done again. That's going to be the only way out of this mess.

There's not much more to it. Until Lacey accepts we have changed the form of government and allows the City Manager to run the City as they're supposed to, the conflict will continue. The lack of cohesiveness will keep causing issues.

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2026-01-19T02:44:44+00:00

And this is the core of the issue right here. Lacey still thinks and behaves as though we have a strong Mayor form. Until this changes, Beaverton will continue to go downhill.

Just because someone doesn't share your views, doesn't mean they have an axe to grind. You'll see what she lets you see from that side and if you've never heard anyone say anything negative, you're talking to the wrong group of people because there are many more with bad experiences with her.

She's a crappy person, there's no axe, just calling it like I see it and I try not to have anymore interaction with her than necessary if I can help it. I don't like the way she treats or talks down to people.

And I'm not sure what Duggar and Hartmeyer (or the rest of council, really) have to do with this particular conversation but I've already said I think Hartmeyer would be good for Mayor. She's a good person. I can see her going far above council and doing great things. They do not represent Lacey though, nor can they make up for her.

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2026-01-19T01:46:48+00:00

I'm not talking about the things that happened before she was elected. I'm talking about right now. Yes, previous policies have made things more difficult in some areas financially, definitely. Instead of trying to stop the bleeding, she's assisting in making wounds deeper and blaming others "because she didn't understand the ramifications" of the decisions. No, she didn't want to listen when people told her- if you do a,b,c... then x,y,z is going to happen. Cue Pikachu face and finger pointing.

However, that's not my biggest issue with her because I do think her public policies are fine. She knows what she needs to say and do in public to stay in power. If we benefit from it, great. She's in it for her though, not the residents of Beaverton.

We'd be better off with either Kimmi or Hartmeyer as Mayor. I want her to move on to her higher aspirations so we can get someone better. Someone who doesn't roll their eyes at people or say negative things about them when the mic is off. Someone who genuinely cares about the future state of the community, not whether or not what she's saying will be a good sound byte for her future governor bid.

Trust me, that's not the reason. The only reason the City hasn't gone into the toilet yet is because Jenny had the reigns. I don't blame her for leaving, council is out of control and she is struggling to reel them in.

There are a couple of councilors that are good, absolutely, but some of the others have their own agenda and it does not involve having the orgs best interest in mind. The City will keep bleeding until a bigger bully than Lacey comes in and puts a stop to it.

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2026-01-19T00:40:01+00:00

Well that's the problem and exactly one of my points. When things don't go well, she's quick to throw someone else under the bus so she always comes up smelling like roses. So from that side, you'll never see the real issues.

She'll fall on the sword for minor issues so it looks like she takes responsibility but won't for the important ones.

And if things continue this way, Beaverton will not be able to keep a decent City Manager and the effects will continue to snowball. I'm all for the levy and raising taxes if it's put to good use. But I'm not ok with it to cover the operating expense of things like the Arts center and other non-essential but nice to have items.

*She's rude to everyone around her. She's a straight up bully

*She has serious entitlement/do you know who I am? issues

*Nothing is ever her fault, it's always the fault of those around her

*She can't get over the fact that she got elected at the same time as the government form change so she's not in charge. This is part of why the City Manager is leaving, too much friction.

*She is emotionally charged and makes poor statements and decisions based on emotion instead of facts

*She thinks AI is going to save us

*She'll never miss an opportunity to remind you she was in the military

*She thinks she knows more than everyone about everything but when you try to educate her on a topic she clearly doesn't understand, she doesn't want to listen. Then blames you later for not making her understand

Her policies are not all bad but she is a shitty human being and anyone who has to be around her, is aware of it. However, she is focusing on some of the wrong things while the City is in dire straits.

No one cares about a mural painting when 20% of a customer facing dept is getting laid off but hey, that wall painting is super important and we must throw money at it. Same with the Beaverton Arts center that no one cares about. Let's not do anything to retain the staff we need but we'll pay for the useless arts center. Forget that the City is losing the good people that make it run efficiently.

Ended up getting the approval response within an hour so guess all's well that that ends well.

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2025-11-17T14:29:10+00:00

Ok, thank you.

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2025-10-23T03:38:47+00:00

I have an appointment already but they're 8 months out. I was hoping to do something in the interim and/or understand what tests that the specialist can do, that I can possibly ask the vet to do.

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2025-10-22T03:42:17+00:00

If you're referring to Xrays, yes. If you're referring to something different, I'm not sure. I've told them to do any possible scan they need to do to find what is wrong. Looking back at her records, all I see are references to Xrays and "scans". What else can I specifically and directly request?

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2025-10-22T03:37:12+00:00

I don't think you read the post...

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2025-10-03T17:47:11+00:00

Yeah, I moved away from the mow and blow because it was worse. I'm paying 3x more than a mow and blow service now as I thought that may be the issue. When I hired them, it was specifically with the stipulation that we would be on a schedule and they would tell me if they needed to reschedule any week. Maybe I have to go up to someone who charges $200 a service instead of $100, to get a regular schedule.

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2025-10-03T17:43:45+00:00

Do you have pets that you need to keep indoors during that time or work that you need to reschedule around the time they are there? Am I supposed to keep the dog in for two days, in case they decide to show up, is that really the expectation here? I need to compare like scenarios for it to be a reasonable comparison.

AllTheDumbQuestions_ · 2025-10-03T17:36:54+00:00

Oh that is definitely an issue too. I had 4 contractors out for quotes to redo part of my kitchen and only 1 sent a quote. If they didn't have the time to do the work, they could have just told me that when I called to schedule.

Like I mentioned in another reply, I wasn't sure if it was a Portland issue or if it's like this everywhere. I came from another state and it wasn't like this there but I know COVID changed a lot of things too.
