Made in Oregon?

Now that Commissioner Randy Leonard is officially a part of the 21st century with his new blog, he’s using it in Portland-rific fashion to “push back,” as the locals call it, against critics who dislike his efforts [PDF] to take control of the “Made in Oregon” sign.

His savvy internetness ways (which produced the photo illustration above) have convinced at least one subset of the Facebook generation — the editorial board of the University of Oregon’s newspaper, The Oregon Daily Emerald– to friend him, as it were.

    You left off a comma, Randy.

    I like this much more than "University of Oregon".

    I feel as if I have been living in some kind of surreal city of clowns since January…just what kind of flotsam and jetsam have we elected to run this once proud city. Tom Potter seems postively dynamic at this point. I have looked on silently all winter but I can’t take much more… Instead of addressing and meeting the basic infrastucture needs of this city, the egotistical children that make up our governing body(mayor and commissioners) have spent 3 months dealing with scandal and how not to comment on it for political expediency, a neon sign, trying to rename another street and bringing a soccer team to town without solid funding. These are the pressing issues of Portland, now? I weep for our city. Disgusting, all of them. Perhaps more than 1 recall campaign is in order-we are sinking fast and becoming a national joke.

  5. Steve says:

    This speaks so much of Portland that a neon sign establishes our culture.

    Don’t forget the additional $2M tro make it a green sign.

    "Now that Commissioner Randy Leonard is officially a part of the 21st century with his new blog,"

    Uh, not quite. Don’t blogs usually allow you to post comments?

    Why don’t we call it an electronic soap box in a sealed room where Radny can listen to his own great thoughts and actually believe they are intelligent.
