Canzano: Kicking dirt on Sam Adams' shoes | OregonLive.com:

"Oh, we have an aerial tram, that ran four times ($57 million) the original budget. And we have those silly bike lanes and a $613 million Portland Bicycle Plan. But what Portland doesn't have after today is a Triple-A baseball team playing in a ballpark where you can bring your family. A piece of the infrastructure of a city just got ripped out.

I'll think about that every time I see the underused bike lanes and that blasted empty tram running overhead. And you should never forget the names of the politicians who were on watch the next time you go to cast a vote. Adams -- Fritz -- Saltzman and Fish. As dreams for the city go, that's some Murderer's Row.

What kind of city does Portland want to be?

Don't ask the city's leadership."
