You know you’re a lame duck mayor when the Portland Business Alliance would rather go to Commissioner Randy Leonard for money. SPOT THE DIFFERENCE.

The mayor’s sit/lie committee has just voted to ask for Leonard’s help in funding restrooms at 1st and Davis and in the Rose Quarter Transit Center, because the mayor’s office has been working with a “phlush” committee to site restrooms for the last nine million years, and they still can’t put their finger on where one should go, let alone get the dollars for it. Seriously, the incompetence of that group is mind-boggling. And nobody has called it.

Leonard apparently told PBA vice president Mike Kuykendall he “didn’t want to work with any restroom committee,” according to Kuykendall. He just wants Kuyendall to tell him where he wants a restroom, and where to bloody put it. Smart move.

The PBA is happy to work with Leonard to get the money, “given the current situation,” said Kuykendall. That would be the current lame duck situation. With the mayor.

Honestly this committee has been spectacular. Hearing the mayor’s staffer, Kyle Chisek, take tons of shit from pretty much everyone, has been bloody hilarious. Every time the mayor’s office makes a comment, everybody pretty much rolls their eyes and almost comes out and says, “shut up, go and get someone who matters.”
