Multnomah County deserves strong ethical leadership. What we’ve gotten instead over the last several years has been bungling incompetence (a problem thankfully under some repair now with new leadership on the county board). Unfortunately, this history of bad governance extends to the Sheriff’s Office where Bernie Giusto has presided over a disaster. As Multnomah County residents are aware, Giusto is under investigation for a series of ethical lapses. He should, of course, resign. But all indications are that he won’t. With his history of bad decision making the residents of our county cannot afford to wait several years before his term expires and he leaves office. Gisuto should be recalled from office now. If anyone is collecting signatures let me know. I want to add my name.
