I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t want to run what with his vast policy successes:
Demanding a city income tax, setting up homeless day care, more benches for bums, hiring hall for illegal aliens, tracking of taggers, not tracking terrorists, his ‘vision’ thing, critical mess ride, among other things. Actual Portland voters probably won’t miss him. Non voters, anarchists, bums? Yeah, they’ll be sorry. Could there be anyone more liberal than Potter who could replace him? Try Ho Chi Min Bragdon and Sam (choo choo train) Adams.
