Lars Larson: Portland Panhandler Keith Wilson gets the brush off…

The highest profile beggar in the Pacific Northwest just got the brush off.

Looks like Portland Panhandler Keith Wilson will have to take his little tin cup somewhere else. Washington and Clackamas Counties have both refused to take millions from services for their own taxpayers and gift it to the mooching Mayor.

Portlandia made its own mess, granting drug addicts and the mentally ill the legal right to camp on public property. Handed out needles and tin foil for the fentanyl addicts. Basically bent over backward for this lawless crowd.

Those concrete campers now consume one half of all fire department calls, about half of all medical calls and about the same amount of police.

Ironically, Wilson is trying to bum money for bums from two counties with annual budgets a fraction the size of Portlands.

Remember, Portland is the same government that somehow lost track of 21-million in housing funds…and after they discovered that cash last November, shook the couch cushions and found 85 million more.

Clackamas County leaders turned down the mayor flat for the 4 million he wanted because they say they don’t trust him or his Rose City Government.

Frankly i don’t blame em.

That’s the Rose City Rap. Join me at noon on KXL for 4 hours of Honestly provocative talk. I’m Lars Larson
