Portland Mayor Keith Wilson used his Tuesday newsletter to mock a fan and data analyst who questioned the $600 million Moda Center renovation plan. Wilson labeled Edan Krolewicz, operator of the Rip City Not Rip Off site, a ‘techbro’ and dismissed his transparency concerns in a direct email exchange. Krolewicz had pushed back on Wilson’s claims about the renovation funding in an email sent to the mayor.
