KBOO's Joe Meyer compares Portland and Rochester's response to the EPA regulation known as LT2.  Portland Water Bureau Director David Shaff explicitly states that it is impossible to alter the compliance timeline based on economic hardship. Rochester's  water manage John Felsen describes how easy it was to get a ten year delay based on economic hardship. 

Interviews with Kent Craford and Commissioner Amanda Fritz explain that David Shaff and the Portland Water Bureau are not trying to get out from LT2, but rather are fast tracking projects to favorite consultants.    

LT2 Rochester and Portland

KBOO's Joe Meyer questions Gail Shibley of the Oregon Health Authority about the EPA regulation known as LT2. Ms Shibley knows of no health threat to our open reservoirs yet insists that we must quickly comply with LT2. She doesn't think Rochester's 10 year delay in compliance in relevant to Portland.

Joe Meyer questions Portland Mayor Hales on Portland's too glad compliance with two Federal impositions: LT2 and the JTTF. Joe gets kicked out after 15 minutes.

The EPA regulation known as LT2 was crafted by the same multi-national corporations that are benefiting from the mandated construction projects.  Three member of Portland City Council are trying to sell the idea that we have to industrialize our water: even if it bankrupts the Portland Water Bureau.
 

Portland left the Joint Terrorism Task Force under ex-police-chief Mayor Tom Potter; rejoined under Mayor Adams with a special JTTF-lite after the Christmas Tree Fake Bomb scare; and now full-on JTTF under Mayor Hales.
