After 97 nights, Ted might be looking for a mostly peaceful neighborhood.
In an email Tuesday from Wheeler to other residents of the 16-floor high-rise tower, the mayor said it would be “best for me and for everyone else’s safety and peace” that he finds a new home. He assured people that police are taking their safety concerns seriously and invited them to a Thursday evening meeting that will include himself and officers to voice their concerns.
“I want to express my sincere apologies for the damage to our home and the fear that you are experiencing due to my position,” according to a screenshot of the email sent to The Oregonian/OregonLive. “It’s unfair to all of you who have no role in politics or in my administration.”
" Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek called for greater acknowledgement by elected officials of Portland police’s role in violence that occurs during nightly protests."
She must not have gotten the memo that the violence is due to the Feds.
