As for Wheeler... I wish we had a rule for city government that, if a mayoral candidate wins the job during the primaries, the new mayor would take office in August rather than January. Win the job... 2 months later, you're in office.
I'm done with Hales.

That is another positive from this election, while I didn't get to vote on it since I don't live in Portland, I was happy to see the campaign contributions limited passed. That was a big mistake when people voted to get rid of that and allow unlimited money for campaigning.
