Let’s get wet and wild this weekend! Lots of fun stuff going on to help you shake those I-don’t-feel-like-leaving-my-cozy-house blues.
And before you start planning, consider learning about City Council District 1 (East) candidate Timur Ender. His campaign is sponsoring this message so you know he’s legit if they are smart enough to buy ads on BikePortland.

Sounds like your opinion can be purchased quite cheaply Mr. Maus.
It’s not like any Oregonians are going to go to their precinct and physically vote on Tuesday (as I in fact will do so here in NC), since Oregon is a 100% vote-by-mail state, but that most residents have probably mailed or dropped off their ballots already, those 50 to 60% who are actually voting of course, so Timur’s last-minute appeal is probably much too late for any real positive effect.
I am regularly surprised that ODOT just doesn’t offer to buy out JM altogether, given their huge bridge budget, to get some positive spin on stories, or at least not as negative.
