no Repubs to blame on this one

Portland and Oregon elected officials = Democrats from top to bottom, so... nothing to see here, move along

some people are too blinded by partisanship to see that these coverups come from institutions burying things and covering things up because it is just easier than admitting to problems and getting them fixed. It's bureaucratic, and party control is mostly irrelevant.
