Bob Ball, the Pearl District real estate developer, targeted by Sam Adams supporters for raising questions in 2007 about Adams’ relationship with an 18-year-old legislative intern named Beau Breedlove, has been an interested bystander during the Adams investigation. According to a list of those people Attorney General John Kroger’s investigators interviewed, Ball was among the first.
Here’s what Ball had to say about the report Kroger released this morning.
On the report:
As a Portlander, I am pleased and relieved that the Attorney General’s investigation has now been concluded. I’m hopeful that, as a community, we can quickly put this unfortunate incident behind us and get on with the business of addressing the critical issues confronting the city during these difficult economic times.
On the content of the report:
I believe it would not be appropriate for me to comment on any aspect of the Attorney General’s report. Although I was interviewed by the State’s investigators, I have no personal knowledge of any other facts they uncovered nor am I aware of the reasoning used by the Attorney General’s staff in arriving at their conclusions. It’s difficult to imagine how anything I would have to say about the report could contribute in to a constructive dialogue over the issues involved.

Uh Nigel?
That the AG didn’t find evidence of a crime does not exonerate Adams from his responsibility for the original pack of lies.
Eight and one half days to go and then we can begin the process of removing this turd from office. I look forward to signing the petition forcing his recall. I look forward to voting in favor of his removal even more.
IF YOU THINK THINGS HAVE BEEN SCREWED UP NOW, JUST WAIT!!!
HEY BOB, If you don’t run for mayor after all of this…all you said in my home that night was so much BU– —-!
This guy whacked you into a black hole, he was your friend, and you act now like nothing happen…no gonards…at city hall, nor as potential mayor.
The lies, and more lies,the admitted lies, and you think all is OK!
That is not looking after the city, he deserves to be recalled,and you know it.
Get a pair,and defend this city, and it’s people,or all we can look forward to is more lies, arrogance, and worse times!!!
Am I UNHAPPY? YES, I think, it just wasn’t Breedlove who got it…the whole city has been dropped…IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
Class statement Bob. You are abut the only person in this scandal that comes across as having any class.

And to think I WAS, convinced he could be a good mayor.
