Ashland City Council agrees to get therapy. Now, there's a concept! Sure, it'll cost the taxpayers around 40 grand. That may be a big deal in Ashland, but in Portland, Mayor Potty can toss that kind of cash around just to keep the toilets open at City Hall all night.
Therapy may be just what the Portland City Council needs. Not so much for conflict resolution, as all of the members of the Council are in agreement that feeding at the public trough is a great thing. No, the Portland City Council needs therapy in order to curb its collective wild urge to throw taxpayer dollars around like candy from a clown car at the Starlight Parade.
Streetcars, trams, couplets, computer systems that don't work, covers for the historic reservoirs, keeping the City Hall bathrooms open all night for the pushers and the hookers - they can find thousands of ways to spend millions of your dollars.
Ashland City Council's definitely on the right track. And they don't even have a streetcar.
