Mayor Sam Adams' seat is empty because he was planning to be out of town anyway.
P.S. See if you can tell the mayor's political party from the article?

Portland Mayor Sam Adams remained out of the public eye as City Hall work went on without him Thursday, but he said Portlanders should expect a decision "within days" about whether he'll resign or fight for his job.
He spent the day on "discussions of a personal nature" with people such as his pastor and his mentor, former Mayor Vera Katz.
"It's important I learn the lessons that need to be learned, regardless of what I decide," Adams said. "That's what I'm talking to folks about right now. Clearly, tell the truth no matter what is one of those. These people I talked with today were blunt. They were brutally honest.
"I need to do more of the hard work before I decide," he said. "I'm not going to be able to sit down with everyone in the city, but I want to have as many conversations as possible. I'm going to be making a decision soon. I'm not going to keep people waiting."
With support from big-name backers and a longtime colleague who had remained silent up to now, Adams seemed to gather momentum in the court of public opinion for the first time since he admitted earlier this week that he had sex with a teenager when he was a city commissioner.
Adams, 45, said Monday he had a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old legislative intern in 2005 but lied about it and persuaded the young man to lie about it, too, in 2007 as he began his campaign for mayor.
At the request of local authorities, the state attorney general's office has opened a criminal investigation of Adams, who said he's hired a lawyer.

..he’s waiting for “MILK” to win an oscar
Lets see, no mention of political party in title, subtitle, first sentence, or first paragraph. No need to read further, we therefore know its a democrat...
Politacal party? Homo.
Political party? Homo.
I KNOW WHERE THE SEADOGS ARE MOVING TO!
Exactly who is it he would be fighting? Mr. Integrity?
Don’t these people know that gays get a pass on sexual deviance? I mean, after all, they’re already gay, right? Geez.
Yeah, this is nothing but pedophobia.
A pedocrat should be able to buttf*** little boys without all this demophobia!
/s
Oh, gee...there’s Dan Saltzman.....the guy who said “Trees have FEELINGS, too”.....
Gus Van Sant lives in Portland. He and Sam are good buddies.
tolcha
Things are starting to get interesting here in Portland...some of the rumphumpers are saying the sex was a private thing so the lies are fine while a much larger group of citizens and denizens is going after Sami for the lies... and the state AG is launching an investigation with no announced timetable.
All night all male orgy scheduled in City Hall tonight so everyone can relieve some stress? Heard a planeload of 7-12 yr old males were being flown in from Bangkock just for the occasion.
The Decision Is In!!!
He casts his vote for “The Yearling”.

Of course you can't from the article because the press usually doesn't like to betray their masters.
But, seeing it is Portland I'll say it's CPUSA.
His pastor is probably a lesbian witch working out of a Unitarian church or something. Any real pastor would tell him to leave his ‘lifestyle’ along with resigning.
