PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • March 15, 2023
Regarding your March 9 article, “Sale of property by city rankles some as ‘missed opportunity.’“ A massive giveaway of public land is more like it. The City Council sold prime waterfront property, valued at $4 million, for $1.15 million to developers who want to build more office space. Come on! Snow White could have negotiated a better deal. A pretty good deal for the developer, not so much for Portland taxpayers. The Portland council should reverse its vote and reopen the request for proposals. ~ Michael Petit, Portland
