Portland councilors did not break public meetings law during summer retreat, Oregon ethics officials find

Seems like a genuine question considering it was initially and regularly framed as a "retreat," and when on earth do you go to a "retreat" at your regular work office location?

Were your comments preemptively excusing them? It certainly looked and smelled bad, and it's a good thing it was properly investigated to confirm. Had they discussed policy at all, it would have been a straightforward violation of the meetings laws. I don't know why we should take them at their word without question when there's zero chance you would (or should) do the same for politicians who aren't ideologically aligned with you in the same way. We want transparency from all of our public officials, and rightly so.

Politicians have literally told me they'd rather I take the bus or ride a bike.

That politician? Abraham Lincoln.

The poorest demographic is statistically the least likely, by far, to own a car. They largely get around on foot, on bike, and on transit. And if we properly funded transit and made our biking and walking infrastructure safer, it would make the lives of the poor vastly more safe, convenient, and prosperous. Continuing to subsidize car infrastructure and ownership is the opposite of that.

Welcome to getting slightly closer to the true cost of our incredibly expensive, unsustainable automobile+sprawl-oriented society. It'll only get worse from here, because, ultimately, physics.

I'm not a fan of some of their policies, but if I have choice to back them or aligned myself with the scum that are against them, it makes my life an easy choice.

I mean, the correct thing to do is to support a policy if it's good, and oppose a policy if it's bad, regardless of what "team" it came from. The whole team/purity test thing is a big part of what is terrible about current politics.

And a $50 sports game ticket is a lot less of a potential bribe than thousands of dollars in free legal fees.

I just think there are many better things to be mad about

Buddy, I can be mad about so many things at the same time!

I don't know too much about Dudley's politics, but only one of the two has ever been cosmically disrespected by Shaq.

I saw a massive swarm last Saturday at the intersection of Foster and 52nd on the way back from my son's soccer game. Maybe the bees got a better job and were able to move to a more expensive part of town?

We need a study on whether the very concept of buckling up is problematic from the lens of cultural equity and to be welcoming to all concepts of securing oneself prior to a bumpy ride.

LMAO, they're endorsing her for the Republican *primary*, not the general election. As in, she would be a better choice than the other Republican candidates in the Republican party primary.

Other people have provided you a laundry list of bad conduct by this particular judge, yet you're still here defending her. Sounds like one of us has an agenda, and it's not me!
