While I am certainly disappointed that Mr. Adams was not truthful when he first had the opportunity (and it does make me wonder why he felt he had to hide his actions if he was acting legally), I do not feel that this issue has any bearing on Mr. Adams's work as our mayor. He has already and will continue to do a lot of good for Portland. It would be one thing if Mr. Breedlove was pressing charges and/or indicating that he was a minor at the time of their relationship, but since he is not, I think we should leave this personal issue where it belongs--in Mr. Adams's personal life.
