High school kids take over city council
by Robert Lotbtan
Portland elected a new mayor in
November, and got another one last
week.
He's Chris M ilton, 17-year-old
brother o f city council candidate
Fred M ilton, a ju n io r at Vocational
Village High School. M ilton won out
over 100 other students in a raffle for
Youth Mayor as part o f Youth Week
activities, March J - 9.
Helping the new mayor with his
responsibilities was a youthful counter
part to the city council. Kelli Corco
ran, Madison High School, took Dick
Bogle's place for a week, Darren Ken
nedy from Jefferson High was Mike
Lindberg’ s counterpart, Charles Law
rence, who attends Wilson High, was
assigned to M ildred Schwab’s office,
and Kelley Weigel o f Madison High
worked with Margaret Strachan.
The youth city council appeared
with Mayor Clark and the regular city
council at a Feb. 28th ceremony in
City Hall. They sat in the council
chambers on Youth in Government
Day, Wednesday, March 6, and an
nounced the results o f a poll on youth
issues. They also made recommenda
tions for action to the city council
based on the poll.
M ilton sounded like a pro as he de
flected reporter’ s questions while sit
ting in the mayor’ s chair. “ I haven’t
had time to think about it, yet,” he
said in response to a particularly point
ed question. Mayor Clark hovered

The young mayor said his brother’s
candidacy got him thinking about
city politics. He hoped that his and
the other students’ participation in
Youth in Government activities would
interest Portland youth in issues o f
city politics that affect them. More
services to help students get jobs and
more money for scholarships to keep
educational opportunities open are
big on his agenda, he said.
Dick Bogle got some laughs as he
introduced his youth counterpart,
Kelli Corcoran. “ T w o o f my staff
members have already asked her for
raises, and I ’m afraid she's already
granted them,” he said.
Metropolitan Youth Commission
director Alice Simpson said Youth in
Government Day went into remission

during ex-mayor Frank Ivancie’s term
in office, but is being revived under
Clark.
" I have a very strong feeling that
people — women, youth, minorities
— ought to be involved in planning
programs that concern them,” she
said. Simpson indicated that city gov
ernment w ill be taking more interest
in youth.
