Courtside Seats for $34

Now I don’t normally post news, but this is pretty interesting.

PortlandFeed.com reports that a new and interesting line item had to be added to that the City Official’s Report. (This report audits gifts received by City of Portland officials). The line item is: Courtside Seats gifted by Trail Blazers to Mayor Tom Potter, value of $34.

Exerpt from City Official's Report:
Potter, Tom 11/4/2006 Unregistered Lobbyist Field - Other $34.00Entry passes to Rose Garden.*Courtside seats gifted by Trailblazers. No assessed value; seat locations never sold to public

That's not fair! Tickets I buy that are 20 rows up cost me over $50... each.

Anyway, I do not personally delve into politics, but I'm interested in any comments that you readers may have.
