"Terry Bean, a co-founder of the Human Rights Campaign, was a big national fundraiser for Democratic politicians before his 2015 indictment in Lane County on charges of sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy.
Bean offered the alleged victim a $225,000 settlement prior to trial, and when the young man refused to testify, the case was dismissed.
Records show that over the past month, Bean has given $3,367 to City Council candidate Jo Ann Hardesty.
Hardesty faces Multnomah County Commissioner Loretta Smith in a run-off for the seat being vacated by City Commissioner Dan Saltzman."

"Mark Wiener, the one-time best connected political consultant at City Hall, lost his only candidate for City Council when Commissioner Dan Saltmzan unexpectedly decided not to run for re-election in 2018.
Although a majority of the council had retained Wiener's firm Winning Mark in the past, it is currently sidelined in next year's council elections, unless a new candidate retains it. Nick Fish, the other council member up for re-election next year, has retained Hilltop Public Solutions for his campaign.
All is not a total loss for Wiener, however.
Saltzman paid his firm $25,500 this year before he changed his mind about running."
