I finished your book the other day, the Christmas activities forced me to put it down for the holidays but once I picked it up again it was a race to the finish, I could not put it down. I believe that one day someone will read this book, realize the value and help you get this promoted.
The politics that you experienced unfortunately are not new but are as old as government. It all starts with the voters. In this case the liberal ill-informed Portland voters, that find it vogue to elect a bar owner that was not qualified to run the business of city government, a bar owner who appointed a Chief of Police that was promoted beyond her capabilities, and woefully unqualified to perform the duties of Chief of Police. A Police Chief who surrounded herself with people promoted beyond their abilities. The big looser in all this is the voter, but unfortunately, I doubt that most of the people that voted for Bud Clark as Mayor, and lived through this dysfunctional period in Portland governmental history, have a clue what had taken place or the consequences of their vote…

Everything is working as it should now!! Nitromater visitors, take a look at the new pics on my Home page. More to come.

Welcome all you visitors from Nitromater. Have to alert you unfortunately that all my “Buy” buttons are not functioning properly right now. We are working on it as I speak. Note that individual book purchases can be made on the “Library” page. Both books can be purchased on the “Home” page. Additionally, I invite you to go to my email address ray@raytercekbooks.net with any questions. I try to answer all emails ASAP.
