A City Hall that is a fifth the size of the previous one and now is just about twice the cost it was promised. City workers that were relocated into rental offices that have ten year leases. 
Thanks for the deep insight into democracy, JP. I'm sure you realize that your "a majority" is nothing of the kind; registered voters are a fraction of residents; actual voters an even smaller subset. Certain populations are smarter than others--- look who Republicans picked as their national standard bearer. I'm just a little surprised that Democrat-controlled Eugene could and did make such uncharacteristic choices, equally dumb as national Republicans. Then again, look who ran for city council. Not much of a choice.
I have published ed pieces in both the Guard and the EW. 
I bow to the collective will. As I mentioned, a place that finds endless entertainment in anachronisms such as the Country Fair and the Eugene Celebration cannot surprise the careful onlooker.
