Whether you like it or not, Metro's going to get its Convention Center hotel, subsidized by millions in taxpayer dollars. Multnomah County's elections director says that opponents can't put the "funding package" to a vote.

Pay up, Peon.
If the housing market continues to improve, we'll be getting out from under the thumbs of these arrogant dorks.
