The City's Park's staff were not trustable, the J issaic's from the Blazers was a bully, so why are there no real community minded people invited to the table? This Task Force, just like the Alberta Plan before it is, a complete sham. This committee is as much BS as the Paul Allen attempt at dumping a stadium in the middle of Delta Park 8 years ago.

I count 17 members on the committee and maybe two that the community should trust. Don't build that white elephant in North Portland or NE Portland.

Build it in Randy's backyard!!!!! I hear from friend's in Lents they are already getting pushed out of their properties.
In my opinion, Merrit PAulson is like a junior George Bush jr.. I don't care what schools he went to, what car he drives,or any other green washing bs. DONT give him my hard earned dollars to build any sports venue!!!!

Time for a no-net-loss of green and open pledge by all elected officials. One would imagine that Portland wouldn't need that. One would imagine that elected officials would be immune to inducements to betray greenspaces. Not anymore!

The whole purpose of these kinds of blue ribbon committees is to give the elected officials cover to do something they know that the majority of those who voted for them would abhor.

Write and call City Hall, early and often on this one. No sacrifice of green and/or open space. Not negotiable.
