Politics / Portland Tonight: Follow-up Meeting Between City and Chavez Street Rename Committee

Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Mon, Jun 30, 2008 at 12:43 PM

Tonight in city hall's Rose Room, members of the Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard Committee will be meeting up with city staffers, to follow up on their June 12 meeting that re-launched the rename effort, which I wrote about this week.

Unfortunately, tonight's meeting is a closed session. But committee co-chair Marta Guembes has previously told me that she doesn't think the rename process should "be a secret"--I had found out about the June 12 meeting somewhat accidentally--so I'll be following up tomorrow to see what happened. And hopefully by then, I'll be able to use accent marks on Blogtown!

Why was this a closed meeting?

There wasn't a quorum of city council members, and it's not a city committee, so open public meetings rules don't apply.

This is just another insidious action that has already been decided behind closed doors and will soon be forced upon Portlanders to accept. Expect more of the same next year once Sam "the scam" Adams is Mayor.

Let's see if ANY of the City's laws will be followed this time.

(what do you call it when politician's subvert the law for personal and political gain?)
