According to a post on the Portland Mercury’s site, a ticked-off City Auditor Gary Blackmer exploded at the Merc’s Matt Davis in City Hall, telling him “I think you’re despicable” and “fuck you.”
What drove the mild-mannered auditor to profanity? Davis says it was a disagreement over a “no comment” line in one of his stories, but we suspect Blackmer may have been inspired by a new movie in which two geezers start doing all the things they want to do before they die.
Carpe diem, Gary!

He is totally despicable. Just like the four white guys and the irrelevant one.
I imagine holding Portland’s public sector employees accountable for their spending is a thankless job, so I would like to say: THANK YOU Mr. Blackmer!
looks like the pulled the story off the main list, but you can still access the permalink.
Gary Blackmer is the last honest public employee in Oregon…and the rest of the politicians and public employees are afraid of him. You go, Gary!
When he fully audits the PDC I’ll ride on a flyijng cow.
If he did the FBI would follow like they are at the Port of Seattle.
