She belongs to a group who have LONG said no one is responsible for the poor choices they make. So it only makes sense she feels she is also exempt from her own choices.

So this worthless tw_t makes $127K/year and cun't come up with $15K in three years to pay a credit card that was probably less than $10K before the interest and penalties came along. AND it'll probably get re-elected. AND it's getting MY tax dollars to run. JFC!! Maybe debtor's prison wasn't such a bad idea!!

I think she might have a substance abuse problem

She is also suing the police Union for $5 million!

Meanwhile the city just awarded a $12 million contract to a lady (not Hardesty) who has been in jail twice for fraud including diverting $800,000 for her own use and ordered to pay energy companies over $1 million for the fraud.

Who better to run the city's finances into the ground doing stupid things than someone who has a proven tract record? Remember when she got angry with an Uber driver on leaving the Iliani casino? Crazy stuff.

Voating has consequences.

"When I ran for City Council in 2018, like many working people I was reliant on a credit card and built up debt. I live alone, without help, and put all of myself into my work at the City," Hardesty said. "Sometimes that means I neglect to take care of personal matters. I tried to work out a payment plan before with this debt that didn't work out and intend to pay this off."

It's been tough lately, though, she added. I've had to cut back on casino nights recently. I only go 2 or 3 times a week now. And the slots just aren't paying off like they did before the pandemic. The casinos have reduced the payout ratios to make up for their operating losses due to Covid-19. It has really hurt working people like me.

Plus I've had a bad run of luck at the roulette table, she continued. I can't make any money betting on black. It's just indicative of the systemic racism that permeates every aspect of American society.

Oh the irony....when life mimics satire.

Maybe she blew it all at the ilani Casino?

Somebody has to pay that credit card bill and it sure is not going to be her.

She is acting like a typical entitled democrat from Portland or Seattle. As stated above, she has the means to pay but chooses not to. Pathetic.

Exactly, look at her.

The more i think about this the more my blood pressure goes through the roof.

This is a person making a very nice salary.
She has used her office and authority to besmirch the PPB and anyone that opposes her. As a matter of fact this is her number one vendetta and I actually had to go look up what her exact responsibilities were.
All the while gambling away all of her money, which is her right. However i think there is a conflict of interest with her employment, debt, and recently filed law suit against the city.
She is in charge of a bureau that sees millions of dollars pass through it's budget. We should not have a person that cannot pay basic personal bills responsible for a budget in the millions. Her office and dealings at the city level should be audited immediately looking for fraud and theft. My personal opinion is that this is much bigger than an unpaid personal debt.

The other issue is that making a credit card payment is unbelievably easy these days. If you have 2 brain cells that function, you can establish a routine automatic payment that is withdrawn on the same day, every month. If her original debt was only $10k for example, it would only take 21-22 months of payments at $500 each month to pay the debt off. Dependent upon interest rates on the debt.

If she cant effectively manage a personal budget and debt, what do you think she is doing with the city budget that her office is responsible for?

 

[whiskeybill]

Wait a minute. Poor woman thought BOA was giving her campaign contributions this whole time.

 

[Lilhigbee]

If you have 2 brain cells that function,

I think you have found the problem...

what do you think she doing with the city budget that her office is responsible for?

Have you driven Division or Halsey or Powell lately?? And don't forget traffic barrels!! Travesty is the Portland Bureau of Transportation commissioner after all. It is using its budget to disrupt traffic.

Unfortunately i have driven several of the main streets around town.
They all suck. They all have large encampments on or very near to them. The traffic revisions are horrible. The goal was to reduce pedestrian fatalities, the revisions have had the opposite effect. We have an all time high for 2021 coupled with a record setting homicide number.
If i had to lay the blame of both issue at one person's feet it would be Travesty. Squeeler runs a very, very, very close race as to who's fault it is.

If both of those 2 were fired tomorrow, we would likely see a sliver of common sense return to city hall and council chambers.

Hardesty looks like she just ran halfway across Africa with a lion on her bubblegum, and when she got to the coast, smoked a chinese fishing boat worth of crack with a meth chaser! She looks like she has a bad case of GhonaRehaSiphlaHerpaAids to go along with her crack habit!

I've tried to stay away from the crypt keeper remarks about her appearance....but i concur with your assessment.

I have went through great pain and suffering after you guys posted her photos here. Maybe I could sue too?
