This is just further evidence that Paul Allen is either going to sell the team or try and move it to another city. Paul Allen doesn't want to keep on losing money. The only way the Blazers will stay in Portland is if the city got chip in but they can'y because Tom Potter has made it clear education is more important then the Blazers.

dang, because it's either education or the blazers.

Sports is the last thing on Tom Potter's mind. The reason the Expos had no shot in Portland was because Potter didn't want to fund it using the publics money. In the end, Tom Potter will be the likely factor whther or not the Blazers stay in Portland, hey it's not my fault, I voted for Francescony.

The reason the Expos are here has nothing to do with Potter (he wasn't in office). It had nothing to do with public money. Thats just his battle cry, to appease the masses who don't have the ability to look into things on their own.

The expos went to WDC because MLB wanted them to go there. It was evident from the get-go, by anyone who actually knows what they're talking about.

Tom Potter has nothing to do with why a MLB team would come here, because there's already a chunk of change set-aside (in theory) that has nothing to do with "public money" or "education". It's just Tom Potter using that as a "Roar, I'm for the education of our children! Grunt!"

it means nothing, and it IS nothing. He's trying to scare people into being against something as if it's the cause of the poor funding.

I really wish you'd read up on things.

Tom Potter knows that the Blazers bring more to the table than they take. He's just saying things to please his choir, even though what he's saying has little to nothing to do with why the team would or wouldn't stay.

It's called "saving his ***".
