The City notoriously and consistently ignores any reports (for example deferred maintenance reports from water and sewer) and recommendations  that our elected Auditor makes. Even though elected, the City Auditor here in highly corrupt Portland has no teeth to speak of. I hope Ted Wheeler is going to change this and give the same or more power and respect to the City Auditor as he said he experienced with the County Auditor. He spoke about this at the Brooklyn neighborhood assn. meeting last month. So glad to see total fail Hales exit. Could the Auditor put this lobbying rule on the ballot? Or before a court?
