North Plains Council Leader Steps Down | Portland News

North Plains City Council President Mandy Hagedorn has stepped down effective Thursday, leaving behind a city in turmoil after a wave of resignations that led to temporary closures and an unprecedented leadership vacuum. Elected on a smart growth platform, Hagedorn — also a senior software product manager — framed the upheaval as a necessary shift, citing voter rejection of a major growth expansion as a mandate for change. With eight officials gone since January, including the mayor and interim city manager, the council faces urgent challenges: filling vacancies and stabilizing operations. A replacement for Hagedorn will be voted on September 8th as the city navigates its most turbulent chapter yet. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
