Add another name to the Portland City Hall revolving door.

Dr. Ting Lu, the city’s first-ever Director of Public Utilities, was just abruptly placed on paid administrative leave.

Less than a year ago, Mayor Keith Wilson called her hiring a "watershed moment."

Now, she is sidelined under a cloud of secrecy.

This isn’t an isolated incident—it is a full-blown leadership crisis.

Since 2025, Portland has seen a staggering rash of bureau heads and top officials either fired or quietly paid to resign, draining millions from taxpayers:

•Priya Dhanapal (Public Works DCA) – Out under unclear circumstances with a $221,000 payout.
•Bob Cozzie (Public Safety DCA) – Out after just 8 months with a $275,000payout.
•Helmi Hisserich (Housing Bureau) – Out with a $240,880 payout.
•Shea Flaherty Betin (Prosper Portland) – Ousted with a $212,992 payout.
•Adena Long (Parks & Rec) & Shad Ahmed (Emergency Management) Both gone with six-figure golden parachutes.

The city refuses to give any details on Ting Lu’s status.

If history is any indication, taxpayers are about to fund another massive payout for a job that barely lasted nine months.

When does the lack of transparency end? 🚨💸 #PDXPolitics #Portland

They aren’t protesters. They’re violent Antifa thugs who destroyed a restaurant as punishment for the ideological beliefs of people who were eating there. These are acts of domestic terrorism that eat away at democracy. You’re on the side of the far-left terrorists, as you were going all the way back to 2016. I witnessed it and was victimized by it.

Chomsky wrote off a live genocide as a fabrication while the killing was still underway.

In 1977, with Pol Pot still in power, he wrote in The Nation that refugee accounts of Khmer Rouge executions were fabrications built to discredit the left.

Before the regime fell in 1979, about 1.7 million people, nearly a quarter of Cambodia, were dead from execution, starvation, and disease.

After that, he and Edward Herman treated survivor testimony as inherently unreliable and blamed Western journalists for inflating the violence to justify American intervention.

They accused François Ponchaud of revising his death toll upward for political effect. He denied it but Chomsky never retracted.

When Vietnam’s invasion made the atrocities undeniable, he recast it as a methods critique. The 1977 piece had already used “fabrication” and “conscious restructuring of history” for the mainstream accounts.

That same move is still the default on Xinjiang, Venezuela, and Cuba. The method outlived the dead.
