Just curious how other folks in the area are planning to vote. I'm voting no. It seems like every other union in the region fully supports him, and the one that doesn't... they've been downright weird about it.

I moved to Portland 30 years ago, is there a tl;dr on the issue?

tldr he killed a bill which included provisions about protecting the right of cannabis workers to organize, he referred the bill to state attorneys who rightly concluded the law wouldn't stand up in court after very similar laws were struck down elsewhere. Every other union still supports holvey, but one of them pushed for a recall over it. If recalls like this are successful, it encourages other special-interest groups to recall reps over small spats like this in the future.
