Portland: City of the “Big Flush” – Issue 72
Tuesday, August 19, 2014
This issue’s Golden Fleece Award, surrounded by a Platinum Toilet Seat, goes to the City of Portland, which finally figured out that manufacturing and selling $90,000 solar-powered toilets for the homeless was outside its “core mission.”
Unfortunately, a judge ruled that, on their way to turning the City of Roses into The Water Closet on the Willamette, the City Fathers had misspent $618,000.
We’re pleased that these wizards have finally relieved themselves of this lousy idea.
