The usual suspects who are used to running things in Portland with a behind the scenes meeting and a handshake want their type back in charge of the City Council. Who are they?* The Portland Metro Council (aka Portland Business Alliance)
* Laurie Wimmer (lobbyist and total reactionary who managed to get herself a sinecure in the Northwest Oregon Labor Council)
* The building trades union who want that sweet, sweet Moda Center renovation cash.
* The policemen’s union (PPA)
* The firefighters’ union
* Corporate law firm Stoll Berne
