State of the City, 2010

Good morning friends, honored guests and fellow citizens:
As you know, I grew up in here in Vancouver.
It is very emotional and humbling for me to be standing here before you this morning. 
I share your dreams for our community.
I have attended our schools and played in our parks.
And I love Vancouver too much to accept anything less than the best.
We have worked too hard and come too far to go backwards now.
I come before you this morning to report on the State of the City, and to speak both frankly and candidly to the residents of our community, the fine employees of our city, and those at all levels of our government.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Federal regulators say Bank of America fired its top lawyer in December 2008 before its takeover of Merrill Lynch simply to make way for another executive, and not because he had given the company legal advice it didn't want to hear.

That "temporary" (up-to-five-year) $12 million loan that the City of Portland plans to take out from Bank of America to pay the city's share of the construction costs in the wacky re-renovation of PGE Park isn't proceeding according to the previously announced plan. You may recall that the request for proposals for the loan specified that the deal would close last Friday. Now it appears that's no longer so. According to Laurel Butman of the city's finance office, the loan is now not set to be finalized until March 10, when other documents relating to the stadium deal are expected to be signed. Butman and her boss, city debt manager Erik Johansen, still refuse to reveal the interest rate that will be charged or any other terms of the Bank of America line of credit. Nor will they disclose any of the terms of the three competing proposals that were rejected, other than that they came from Chase, Umpqua Bank, and Wells Fargo. It appears that all of that information is to remain secret until the loan finally closes, a month from now. The smoke in that back room has grown awfully thick.
