After Mr. Bragdon discovers he's in over his head and comes back to Oregon to poach someone else's job here, I hope there isn't a job for him here any longer.

I guess Oregon/Portland just isn't cool enough for Mr Bragdon. We have a problem with Oregon-based companies cashing out once they get to a certain size, and moving on to something "bigger and better." Mr. Bragdon is just another example. After a very mediocre track record at Metro, he's moving on to something he thinks is bigger and cooler. How can we get someone who will stay and see things through, as his replacement, without running to the next cool opportunity that comes along. Good riddance Mr. Bragdon.
