Mr. Brown is correct on all accounts.  This is why councilors Zelenka, Pryor, Syrett, and maybe Evans' council positions need to be challenged when their reelections come due.  

I believe that is why Joshua Skov was defeated by Emily Semple in the Ward 1 runoff race last month.  Skov has been deeply involved the city, sitting on several committees and/or commissions, during the time when too many city proposal have proven to be disasters; such as the S. Willamette rezoning (SW-SAZ), Kesey Square, Oakleigh Lane Cohousing, homeless, an unwelcoming downtown, and of course city hall to name a few.

Also, it's probably a good time to show the city manager the exit door, and give Ruiz the boot.
