City of Portland stonewalls on Sam "If you're 18, you can get an" Adams case: to charge $1.5 MILLION on records request.

.
Pure, unadulterated, corruption.

It's this kind of despicable behavior of lies and deceit that got close-to-pedophile Sam Adams into hot water in the first place.

The local ABC affiliate, KATU TV has documented where the City of Portland has demanded $1.5 MILLION dollars to respond to KATU's public record request.

Here's the article on their website. Even if Adams hadn't been a lying scumbag over his sexual activities with a teenager, that he would countenance this kind of usurious charge for public records is reason enough to kick his lying ass out of office as it is.

PORTLAND, Ore. - In Oregon, public records are open to everyone and in many cases are free.

Oregon's public record laws are supposed to be some of the most open in the country. The costs have to be reasonable and should be waived when there is a great public interest in the documents. _______________________________________________________________

So when KATU received a quote of $1.5 million from the city to pull public records from Mayor Sam Adams' office, you can imagine the sticker shock.

It all started weeks ago when the mayor issued a public apology over the scandal involving his relationship with a young intern. During the press conference, KATU requested Adams' phone, calendar and e-mail records from the spring of 2005, when the then city commissioner was developing a relationship with 17-year-old Beau Breedlove.

"I think the Willamette Week and the Oregonian have asked for those already, so they're around already," Adams said.
