End games
They're from Mike Marshall and James Armstrong (a two-fer), Dan Ryan, Sam Adams, Not Rene Gonzalez, the Mother I'd Like to Not Vote For (the fifth mailing she's sent here), the "Portland Voter Guide PAC," and two different cards from Elana Pirtle-Guiney.
Do they think that anybody's reading these things? And if they did read them, that they'd be persuaded by them?
It's all so crazy. But the craziest part is that you and I paid for a lot of it, via the City of Portland campaign subsidies that so many of these candidates get out of our property taxes. It's supposed to keep the corrupting influence of money out of local politics. But given how the candidates scheme to get subsidies that they aren't really entitled to, I'd say corruption is doing just fine.
Anyway, into the recycling they all go. But they were good for a chuckle, as always.
My wife and I returned our ballots at least a week ago, and every time I look in the mailbox we have a fresh crop of this junk for the recycle bin.
ReplyDeleteIt's like they ignore the reports of who hasn't voted yet that they get from the county. Or, don't care about wasting money because it's not their money to begin with.
