Portland's slimy mayor and his twin have plans to steal a few tens of millions of dollars from water and sewer ratepayers in order to divert the funds to (what else?) bicycle paths and college scholarships. Naturally enough, this move has enraged the folks who already pay some of the highest rates in the nation for water and sewer services.
Enter high-profile Portland attorney John DiLorenzo, who's now mulling whether to file suit to block their plans. DiLorenzo said that he’s looking only at sewer and stormwater money and whether “it is legally appropriate to use those fees for purposes that are not related” to sewer services.
Judging from the comments related to the story, the attorney has a whole lot of backing. Portland's sleazy mayor, Sam Adams, and his ever-present sidekick, Randy Leonard, are finding support for their pet projects increasingly difficult to come by.
