Mayor Lueb was the 2nd Leftist to resign from office in Tigard since 2022. I still miss Singh on the city council. What started out looking diverse in 2022 when Portland felt the need to go conservative and got screwed, now is more conservative looking. I feel so unrepresented and wish I were. Our current city council are primarily the fiscally conservatives who could achieve gentrification and more inequity. Mayor Lueb was really concerned with pedestrian and bicyclist safety and Singh was trying to achieve environmental social justice. Now, it's save not people or the planet, but save the police and probably shenanigans such as gentrification and not regulating businesses or questioning how our city can meet climate change. Is this the new tactic? Push them out before their terms are up.
