Oregon, here’s your new State Treasurer (on a bike of course!)

Wheeler is an old Engish name that no doubt had something to do with wheels. Teds familly may have deep roots in cycling

I for one, am hoping that Mr. Wheeler is positioning himself for a run at the Governor’s office. He needs to get statewide name recognition and the Treasurer’s post is a good step towards that. Go Ted!

Go Ted!

Were going to miss Ted, to second #2 I hope he runs for governor too! Why not? He’s a no-nonsense politician, calls em as he sees em & is a compassionate politician, not just in rhetoric. He got Sam to back down from the Convention Center Hotel, he has said the property tax inequities need to be fixed. We need someone who will tackle the big problems which will yield big results.
Thanks for all your hard work at the county, you will be greatly missed.
Sincerely
Jeff Bernards

This seems to be the way of our political enviroment. Step one, rising politico serves all, far and wide. Step two rises to middle local political elevation. Step three, favorite son gets promoted to state level, leaving a vacuum at local level. Sad, we will miss his efforts and results.

Cream rising, I hope. Considering that many of us were despairing of Multnomah County before Ted, and we’ve despaired of state government for years, maybe he’s heading where he can do the most good. And he obviously reads the right blogs.

Reincarnate Tom McCall for governor.
