We're so proud!

Several reasons why Sam Adams need to resign.



1) Having sex with an intern no mater what the age or sex is wrong. We will never know why the young man had sex with Mr. Adams even though both say it was consensual. What if the young man thought Mr. Adams could get him a great job with the city. Perhaps the young man though if he didn't have sex it would affect his ability to get a job. Perhaps the young man thought he could blackmail Mr. Adams about the relationship. Perhaps the young man was enamored with Mr. Adams position on City Council. Or perhaps it was consensual.

People in power should never have relationships with underlings, interns, people that report to them or might gain benefit from the relationship. Doing so shows Mr. Adams poor decision making ability.

2) Asking the young man to lie about the relationship again was very poor decisions by Mr. Adams.

3) Lying about the relationship knowing the truth would eventually come out was again a very poor decision.

Mr. Adams arrogance in thinking he is above the truth and he didn't have to be honest about the relationship shows a serious character flaw and is that what we want in our mayor. Mr. Adams has again put Portland in the national press in a bad way.

It is time for Mr. Adams to resign and allow Portland to get on with business.
