SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla - A 62-year old St. Petersburg man was arrested Tuesday for stalking a teen and offering him money for sex.
The problem, here, appears to be that the old guy didn't follow Portland "mayor" Sam's approach: Sam doesn't offer money up front; he gives cash "gifts" later on.
Be that as it may, Sam's too busy for such foolishness, these days: in just a couple of weeks, he's set to convene a "town hall" meeting at a presently undisclosed location; the purpose of which is to debate whether or not to rejoin the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
After Sam's predecessor, Tommy Potter, was denied an ultra-top secret clearance by JTTF, Tommy pitched a hissy fit and insisted on pulling Portland out of the force - making the city once again unique in the nation. Thus, five years ago, Sam and the gang at Portland City Hall pulled the plug. In light of the recent arrest of a muslim terrorist who planned to blow up Portland's tree-lighting ceremony, some folks have been reconsidering that whole hissy-fit thing.
Because the OSP remains a member of JTTF, governor Ted was briefed by the FBI on the impending take-down several days prior to its occurrence; "mayor" Sam heard about it on the news. This puts Sam in an uncomfortable position. Given his antics, it's unlikely that he'd be eligible for any kind of clearance; let alone top secret.
