The thing is Sam never would have been effective. It’s just that now he has something he can blame it on.

This is all going as I feared it would. Sam is becoming less and less effect in roles that he said he would take leadership in. He’s becoming another Mayor Potter in terms of ineffectiveness. It really doesn’t matter what Sam’s policies are when the business community, volunteer groups, his own staffers, the police union, and a majority of the citizenry have no confidence in him and are distancing themselves as quickly as possible.

Sam, PLEASE STEP DOWN NOW and don’t prolong the agony for this city!

Sam making out with a seventeen year old in a public mensroom AT CITY HALL.
A sixth grade boy spanking girls.
Who get arrested and charged with a felony, taken away from his parents, and put in jail? NOT SAM!! Is the city of Portland open to a lawsuit? did sam use his city computer to email kid?
sam should resign and save the city from being a laughed at. he’s already missed mayor day in salem, cut short his trip to D.C., and resigned from his school commitee to raise graduation rates. given the police bureau to leonard. he’s not doing any city business. good bye sam

to girl – Unless the sex in question was with a minor, in which case it was a sex crime according to Oregon law (maybe only a misdemeanor, but still a crime).

This would certainly explain why Adams felt the need to lie about the relationship instead of saying "none of your business", which would have been a valid response when quizzed about your sexual relations with other adults. "None of your business" is not an acceptable response if you’ve committed a crime.

"Certainly anyone finding fault with Sam’s pedophile actions and psychopathic lying must be projecting their own qualities."

Puh-leeze, where’d you get this half-baked psychology. You telling me that anyone who wants to prosecute a pedophile/psychopath (your terms) is one also?

Great smokescreen. Sam lied and continues to lie. He only tells the truth when he gets backed to a wall. He’s a sociopath and if you believe him, good luck. He’s making Dick Cheney look honest.

OK…the end has been signaled by HIS CLOSET ALLY(Randy is coming out).

He want’s "deals" with Leonard in writing,so fascinating is how I described Randy in an earlier post, He is a shark, swimming around a bleeding swimmer, running in, and taking a bite from each side.

Man, if this was the "OLD WEST" Randy would be the gunslinger pulling leather first, and taking the first shot, heard all over the city.

I think this has gone on long enough, because he has been a bit slow with all the facts as well.

Stand up Mr Leonard, stop being a pussy and demand he step down, or your words are suspect as well.

I voted for you,I got lied to as well, but just maybe your massive ego, has the ability to lead this city.

As much as I dislike you,I would accept you as mayor,only if you show the guts this issue needs.

The AM article was a "signal" that’s the way you so-called leaders do it.

If you’re going to put ADAMS away, be man enough to do it, or be silent.

Does anyone remember the 6th grade boys in McMinnville who were a swipe of a pen away from having to register as sex offenders until the age of 25? The public rage and outcry? Now we have a possible pedophile as mayor of Oregon’s largest city and he is still in office. What the 6th grader "spankers" did was inappropriate but look what is going on in Portland, a rather large leap from inappropriate to illegal. Additionally, how can we expect police officers to arrest sex offenders when the city’s highest office is, quite possibly, home to one? Unbelieveable.
