FeedsReplying to a comment on Neighborhoods Rock with Sam Adams
Paul, sorry you've had such negative experiences. Although I never said it was endearing per se: my experiences in LA showed me both the good and the bad, and I began to learn how to be effective and use my time well on a neighborhood level.
Although I can imagine scenarios where a few voices get over-amplified, I've also seen scenarios where the representatives work to engage community, and make it a truly representative system.
Reading over what the neighborhood leaders have said about him, it shows me that he's made the time and has the commitment to visit every area of Portland, to talk to the residents and to learn what issues matter to them. And, after doing that, he goes back to city hall and works to deliver for the neighborhoods.
