  • Shifting Stories on the Costly, Risky CRC :
    *Disclaimer: I do some work on the CRC for the Coalition for a Livable Future. And I haven't had enough coffee this morning.* I speak only for myself.
  • Rob Cornilles jumps the shark:
    Seems like a decent candidate for [hacks vs. flacks](http://byronbeck.com/home/329-night-of-the-never-ending-roast-hacks-a-flacks-heat-up-rose-garden.html), if he ever gets to be a hack. But given the turnout numbers, I think we're in for a party tonight at EcoTrust.
  • AFSCME Local 189 Endorses Jefferson Smith and Mary Nolan:
    Correction/Clarification: I haven't made an endorsement in the mayor's race. I have endorsed Mary Nolan and Steve Novick.
  • Mayor 2012: Brady wins first labor union endorsement:
    Yeah, I type "desperately needed bridge that will solve all our problems while costing us nothing" and my computer auto-corrects to "costly, risky CRC highway mega-project." :) Though I have to say "CRC highway mega-project" encompasses a much higher percentage of the project's planned cost than "Columbia River Crossing," as ...
  • AFSCME Local 189 Endorses Jefferson Smith and Mary Nolan:
    Disclaimer: I haven't made an endorsement in this race. I speak only for myself.
  • Mayor 2012: Brady wins first labor union endorsement:
    Thanks - I went and listened. Sounds like Brady didn't endorse *removal* of the Hayden Island interchange on Think Out Loud. To her credit, she did talk about scaling that part of the highway mega-project back, "close to nothin'": *"I'm just a candidate for mayor, I'm not sitting ...
  • Mayor 2012: Brady wins first labor union endorsement:
    Can you provide a source for your claim Brady's the only candidate to call for congestion tolling? I've heard Smith be strongly supportive of congestion tolling, and Hales be very open to it (on the previous CRC-mayor's race discussion). And re: "old unsafe bridge" you set up ...
  • Mayor 2012: Brady wins first labor union endorsement:
    It's a common move to say "yes, let's cut the waste" but never identify the waste. That's what I feel Brady has been doing on the CRC highway mega-project. I want to know what her broad vision is for skinnying it down - because she's been supportive ...
  • Mayor 2012: Brady wins first labor union endorsement:
    TA- IBEW has been clear the [CRC mega-project a top priority](http://www.wweek.com/portland/blog-28113-one_city_union_no_longer_holding_back_on_mayoral_e.html) in their mayoral endorsement. If you're skeptical that it should be a priority, talk to IBEW, but Esmonde said it was to the press, and has gone even further in private ...
  • Mayor 2012: Brady wins first labor union endorsement:
    And... everyone who works for campaigns should be making their disclaimers. But yes, Brady won the endorsement, by media accounts because she's supportive of the costly, risky CRC highway mega-project (although to some audiences Brady says she wants to "skinny it down," I have yet to hear her commit ...
