To me, this is evidence that the new charter system (with 3 councilors per district) is a failure. The city elected extremists, like Councilor Green, because each candidate only had to receive 25% of the vote in their district.

I would like to see 7 districts with one councilor per district. And the candidate would have to win a *MAJORITY* of votes in the district to be elected.

The non representative non diverse charter commission full of identity group government and nonprofit workers designed it this way. They wanted fringe candidates to get elected as they centered racial “justice” in their design. Then the gullible Portland voters so desperate for change voted yes without realizing what they created.

Agreed. I voted no on the charter.

What a disaster.

Wow, Socialist Mitch Green advocates the destruction of PSU library public property AND letting the perpetrators go free? I hoped he and fellow City Council Socialists (DSA) were not so extreme, but foolish me for being naive. God help us.

Portland needs answers: Why are the DSA Socialists advocating for destruction of books and the tax payer funded libraries? Are Democratic Socialists for or against free speech?

The City Council should censor him for actions. Of course this being Portland with a DSA (Socialist) controlled council he will continue acting as Portland’s own Donald Trump.

Portland is in so much trouble 😵‍💫. While they castigate Trump for his behavior they practice the same form of blackmail 🥺. So is the far left any better?
