Tell me when you can smell the Republican on this guy: Bob Simril, former candidate for Portland City Council is leading the Enhance Community Safety Initiative - a ballot measure to divert 25% of the funds in the Portland Clean Energy Fund into a push to hire 400 more Portland Police Officers. The initiative was submitted with 63k signatures out of 40k needed, but after blank lines, duplicates, and nonresidents were removed, 34k were deemed valid. Backers immediately condemned the process.
