Front Row Left to Right Councilor Pious Ali, Councilor Jill Duson, Mayor Strimling, and Councilor Justin Costa.

Joining Ray and David this morning is Portland Mayor Ethan Strimling. There is a power struggle in Portland. The City Council vetoed the whole full slate of appointments. Council members wouldn’t even allow the Mayor to speak on why this wasn’t even legal. The power struggle is still going on, he says that the council is under-minding the office of the Mayor, again and overstepping their authority.
