Police Union, Goldschmidt ready for battle
Jackson defeats Jefferson cagers

January 9th M ay o r Goldschm idt sub
m ille d him self to an inquiry by the
Portland Police Association (P P A ). S e v ­
e ra l days la te r the E xe c u tiv e Board of the
Association and then a m a jo rity o f polled
m em bership decided to support F ra n k
Ivancie for M ay o r H a v in g lost his bid for
police support, the M ay o r railed at the
union: ‘I f Ivancie loses, police standing
in the com m unity is going to suffer.'
Goldschmidt told reporters: ‘I have had a
very bad relationship w ith the President
of the union, because of his view s on
Am erica, his view s on this city, his views
on crim e and his view s on e v e ry other
subject
and I w ouldn't chose to have it
any o ther w ay.” Follow ing th a t, in an
effort clearly meant to isolate union head
Stan P eters from
his mem bership,
Goldschmidt said “I have a g re a t deal of
resp»>ct for o th e r police."
Stan Peters, an e ig h t y e a r veteran of
the police d e p a rtm e n t, was amazed at
“the all encompassing n atu re o f the
charges w hat I am for." P e te rs said, “is
for good solid law enforcem ent, the
trainin g and developm ent o f highly
respected police officers, com petent
people in the police, and com petent
people in leadership of the city.
Its
nonsense for the M ay o r to say he's had
bad relations w ith the head of th e police
union - the last tim e w e talked was in his
o ffic e on N o vem ber 6th
It was a cordial,
re la tive ly in tim a te talk for a couple of
hours His attack Tuesday was below the
stature o f a com petent M ay o r."
M any observers view Goldschm idt's
attack on P eters as a w a rn in g to o th er
city employees to stay out o f th e m ayoral
race
or support G oldschm idt. T his is
the in te rp re ta tio n of Goldscm idt's state
w ent: " if you play in heavy tra ffic you're
going to get y o u r toes run o ver
som etim es...”

noted th a t the police union had supported
him for city council and then in his
M ayo ral election.
T he P o rtland (Mtocrver interview ed
P P A P resid ent Stan P eters p rio r to
Goldschmidt's outburst. T h e re was no
question a t that tim e th a t the Union was
clearly opposed to the re election o f the
T he Jackson Raiders w ere pleasingly
satisfied as they eased by the Jefferson
Dem ocrats in the last few seconds of
o v e r tim e play.
Most of the game was a hard comeby
lead for Jackson, until the fourth q u a rte r,
when Jefferson look o ver the lead and
boosted it to eight points. T h e crowds got
excited to see J e ff on top.
T he game became very tens,- to watch
and loads of pressure was put on the
players as they wished to pleas«* th e ir
spectators.
Although p,*opk* may not know or
believe th a t referees make bad calls,
critics w ill say d ifferent. Some of th e ir
M ayor: "W ho runs Goldschmidt? It's an
interesting question. H e doesn't have the
support o f la b o r. Public employees are
not behind him It would be interesting
to know w hat his base is."
T h e reasons the police are oppos,*d to
Goldschm idt and for Ivancie are not
specifically enum erated. "T h e m ajo rity of
union mem bers simply re tu rn e d the
ballots for Ivancie, against the M ayor.
They could have any num ber of reasons."
P eters outlined some of them: one of the
first things the M a y o r did was break up
the police union (separating officers from
the union)
A n o th e r contention w ith
Goldschm idt is o ver the L E A A , though it
is not a rtic u la ted in th a t form . "Strings
opinions can be based on calls o f the J e ff
