Mayor Anne Contributed $1,000 To Wil Fuentes Last Year, Now She Wants Him To Vote To Save Her Light Rail Project
Why was Wil Fuentes chosen and how can Mayor Anne brag about Wil Fuentes backing her up to save Light Rail? Maybe because Mayor Anne paid Wil... $1,000, to be exact. Last year, Mayor Anne contributed $1,000 to Wil Fuentes.
I wonder what Wil had to promise to gain her support? Hmmmm
Also, don't you think Wil Fuentes should recuse himself from a vote that supports one of his biggest individual contributors of his campaign?
In a recent public records request, it was found that Chair Sue Marshall was in direct communications with Mayor Anne... and texted her that Wil Fuentes was installed in the C-Tran Board to replace Belkot. Wonder if Mayor Anne requested Wil Fuentes?

We need everyone out tonight - You can call in too but you'll have to email before noon tomorrow to get signed up. Show Up & Speak Up Tomorrow At C-Tran Meeting This Tuesday, April 15 at 5:30 PM — is the next C-Tran Board meeting, and it’s shaping up to be a doozy. As you may recall, last month, Councilor Sue Marshall conspired with Vancouver Mayor Anne to block a vote that would have changed C-Tran’s by-laws and prevented Clark County taxpayers from footing the bill for TriMet’s light rail operations — a cost that could reach $20 million per year. With Councilor Michelle Belkot poised to cast the deciding vote to end future light rail funding, Sue Marshall made a motion to table the vote. The very next day, she improperly and without legal authority removed Belkot from the C-Tran Board and replaced her with Wil Fuentes — a new political ally of Mayor Anne, installed to do her bidding. This upcoming meeting matters because: - They will attempt to officially seat Wil Fuentes and have him cast the deciding vote to keep light rail funding alive. - Two lawsuits (Anderson v Clark et el & Belkot v Clark/Fuentes) are now challenging both the legality of Belkot’s removal and Fuentes’ appointment with a hearing set for this Thursday. - Last month’s “motion to table” was out of order. According to Robert’s Rules of Order (12th ed., §17): “A motion to table is not valid if made solely to avoid or suppress a vote due to anticipated outcome. It must be linked to urgent, temporary business or a need to shift priorities.” - Clark County residents don’t want light rail — and certainly don’t want to subsidize Portland’s TriMet. Once those tracks are laid, the taxpayer-funded grift never ends. Mayor Anne wants a train for her city, but expects Clark County’s “smaller cities” to pay for it. - The C-Tran Board should instead make a motion to table this vote and allow the legal process to proceed — the first hearing is scheduled just two days later, on April 17. Show up early - Pack the house - Always be respectful, thoughtful, and civil — let your arguments be what people remember.
