The Portland City Council—which has not met in two weeks despite nightly unrest in the city’s downtown—will be back in session on Tuesday, according to a report.

The Oregonian newspaper wrote that while violent protests raged the government body “hung out its gone fishin’ sign.”

Jim Mark, a real estate developer, wrote in an email obtained by the paper that the “inaction and lack of collaboration by our elected officials over the past 90 days is absolutely unacceptable. This inaction has created a dangerous environment where many local businesses are struggling to survive and where few people want to visit, work and live.”

Oh, there's definitely not any "lack of collaboration" by those elected officials. It's just not the kind of collaboration you had in mind.

“Hi gang! Anything happen while we were away?”

Unreal, but you get what you vote for. What I want to know is just how many chances do democrats get anyway before people wake up? “Well they messed things up for the 20 billionth time, but let’s elect them again, maybe they will get things right this 20 billionth and one time”

What bunch of irresponsible “leaders”. These pathetic, criminal leftist “leaders” are lunatics and should be tarred and feathered...and run out of town. Unfortunately for whatever few sane people who live there, most who live there are leftist nitwits. More popcorn!!!

“The paper reported that the vacation was announced in early July.”

The word “cancel” isn’t in their vocabulary?

The government left town, and it made no difference.

Portland City Council returns from two-week break, useless and mainly responsible for the wholesale decline of their city.

Commie Jackwipes.
