And we love watching rich special interest groups waste money. $34K was spent by realtors and developers across Oregon to try to buy the Ward 6 City Council Seat. It didn't work. Ward 6 showed up to vote for their own interests and for the representation they want and need in Council Chambers. But we have to ask; why would realtors be so interested in clinching the swing vote on City Council? Elections have consequences and for now, the agenda of the realtors is at bay. The same goes for...2025-05-2944 mindemobratsdemobratsWhy Did The Chicken Cross The Road? 🐔🚲💜This week on the pod, Beth Schmidt from every Why did the Chicken Cross the Road? joke and Safe Routes to Schools joins us to talk about all things bicycle and pedestrian safety.

Turns out she breaks her collarbone and gets a concussion. We did the math and she was 68.2 milliseconds from a very different ending.

The mayor took a solid 20 seconds on Monday night to vote on a motion brought forward. She appeared to be looking at her phone the entire time prior. Whose council was she seeking before placing her vote? Did she know she'd be called last in the roll to vote? And was she surprised her usual allies on council had not voted no?
