Pollard beats Potter; Portland
mayor
Last Christmas season, Vancouver mayor Royce Pollard and Portland mayor Tom Potter had a bet: who could raise the most money on KPAM 860 radio personality Bob Miller’s Operation Santa Claus, a fundraiser for military families. Pollard won. The payoff: a report to the Vancouver City Council, on the fifteen best things about Vancouver to be recited by Potter, at the Vancouver council’s 6 p.m. council meeting Monday, March 24. Potter will be accompanied by Miller, who will temporarily take the council gavel from Pollard, who says, “I can hardly wait to hear all the reasons Potter loves us so much.” Working with the Salvation Army, Miller’s Operation Santa Claus has raised over $500,000 for veterans and their families at Christmastime.
