Potter's wife pulls blog describing commissioners as 'evil doers'

The wife of Portland Mayor Tom Potter has pulled all postings on her local politics blog after one which described city commissioners as “evil doers” incited outrage at City Hall.

Commissioner Randy Leonard recently discovered the post, which reads, in part: “The evil doers are hard at work at City Hall. They are trying to erase all the good work of Tom Potter's administration … I am sick of these disgusting power plays that put winning and egos over what is best for Portland.”

Hansen claims commissioners’ decisions are based on their dislike for Potter and a desire to “get even.”

”They are working on ending funding for on-going projects, such as the Office of Youth and Gang Violence Prevention, the newly created Human Rights Commission; while chipping away at Tom's supporters. They have yanked Dan Saltzman to the darkside for their third vote to override ‘the Mayor's Budget’ With an ‘Alternative Budget,’” the post reads.

Comment: What do you think?

Hansen pulled all her posts after Leonard published a comment to the blog and sent a link to reporters.

In previous blog postings, Hansen described the city council as consisting of “Do-Nothing… Mean White Boys” who, “in alliance with the Portland media,” painted a “productive, inclusive and amazing mayor as a ‘Do-Nothing Mayor.’ ”
