Yeah whatever. So Kroger is from Brooklyn and Mark Weiner of Winning Mark, the campaign strategist company, behind getting Sam, Randy, and Kroger himself into office, is from The Bronx…why should that co-incidence matter? Who doesn’t love a bit of trivia?
[...] has posted reams of documents that it has obtained from the office of Oregon Attorney General John Kroger [...]
We should never have allowed those New Yorkers to invade our city.
More like, now that we now know how much power campaign strategy companies have for marketing candidates into something they are not, we might vote better in future elections, by peeking beneath the glitzy packaging.
Reading through these statements, one has to wonder if Kroger did not see signs of RICO…organized crime, political corruption and state crimes and is acting on it? Hopefully he’ll make it over to Multnomah County, as well.
Let’s see you have Bob Ball, a reserve police officer speaking with an attorney about his understanding that Adams had had an inappropriate relationship with a minor, and his attorney (who the heck was that idiot and is it possible he was on the city’s/county’s payroll?) advising Ball it was not necessary for Ball to alert authorities regarding a citizen coming to him regarding council official Sam Adams possibly having offended a minor in a City Hall bathroom.
Ball obviously knew the advice was frought with risk so he decided to strategically dump the “hot potato” in Randy Leonard’s lap, thinking Leonard, as an elected official would then be obligated to deal with it in an appropriate fashion.
Next we see Leonard go not to authorities but home and tell his wife and then tell the alleged offending official Sam Adams of Ball’s disclosure.
Next we learn Randy Leonard chose, on the day of his birth, to grab and/or choke? Bob Ball on his back porch for “outing” Adams and that Leonard instructed Bob Ball to keep his mouth shut, in addition to threatening and intimidating Bob Ball on that occassion and at least one other with Adams and Tom Miller present.
Then we see Vera “in the know & kiss the ring” Katz (she must be special as cats from Shady Acres Mine always seem to be dropping dead yellow parkeets on her doorstep) calling Randy Leonard and telling him that Bob Ball spilled the beans on Adams to her. Mind you, neither former mayor (Katz) or current city commissioner Randy Leonard bothered to contact authorities? Shades of Neil Goldschmidt ALL OVER AGAIN.
This IS how they operate.
And what is with a rumored “Secret Police” program Leonard is heading-up that expends $1M per year? And how is he able to get around not disclosing to taxpayers exactly what the program is?
I’ve started a spreadsheet of my own. Between Multnomah County and City Hall, it’s getting rather large.
