Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler speak to the media during a live Zoom session.

Why can’t anyone talk about the increase in testing?? It’s not rocket science folks, if you test more, you’ll have more cases. Go fact check that.

Mayor says support local business and shop local? Did the mayor support local business by allowing months of riots? Pretty sure riots were worse than covid
So long as laws are optional for rioters and street criminals and borders still open this will never end

[MsKimifer]

Close the big businesses! No superstores like Costco and Walmart. Let the mom and pop places pick up their slack. They're the ones bending over backwards to follow the guidelines.

When are you going to resign and stop destroying Portland?

[suzannespanier]

Went to a restaurant where the poor woman is distraught over it being her last job day. Extricate Oregon from the federal agenda. You can’t put the entire middle class in jail.

[DuraDigi]

There won’t be any local businesses to eat at soon only chain restaurants that can ensure these type of lockdowns it’s sad and I guarantee cases will still rise.

[msmoe]

Rough night Ted? Did you even bother to wash your face before you rolled out this morning?

[ricklannis]

The city fell apart under his watch and they re-elected him, what a bunch of nitwits!!

Two times i called 911 in this city ; first time was 45-60 min response to a stolen car that was crashed suspect took off down the street. 2nd time a full on street brawl that police knew about but had decided was too dangerous to do anything about😳none of the brawlers had guns

[Corennag]

But someone can be in a department store and not wear masks and see an officer there in less than 10 minutes that is ridiculous

[dagingflowerchild]

and please discourage people from coming to the coast.

[nateb]

I am not a fan but thank you for acknowledging the mental health and isolation aspect. The NW in the winter is rough enough when everything is open.

[Corennag]

He makes me sick I can't believe anything he says 🙉
