[March 26th, 2008]

This week’s question to some of the candidates for mayor (we’ll quiz the other six candidates in future weeks):

What is the largest public high school in the city of Portland?

SAM ADAMS, CITY COMMISSIONER:
“Oh wow. The largest public high school in the city of Portland. Wilson.”

SHO DOZONO, AZUMANO TRAVEL OWNER:
“David Douglas.”

CRAIG GIER, BROOKLYN HARDWARE EMPLOYEE:
“Would it be—Grant?”

JAMES B. LEE, RETIRED PHYSICIST:
“I got the one about the bus pass [see "Pop Quiz", WW, March 19], but that’s not mine. Gosh, it’s hard to say. I think it’s Lincoln.”

CHRISTOPHER RICH, “ENTREPRENEUR”:
“Isn’t it Lincoln?”

JEFF TAYLOR, MORTGAGE BROKER:
“Public high school. The city of Portland. Wilson.”

Actually, RSossel, I believe David Douglas HS is part of the David Douglas School District.

Let's be fair, Sho travels. Outside of his city block even. And all I can say about Adams..mmmm..... BOSTON LAGER

Gee how surprising that so many default to thinking the rich white people schools are the biggest.

I was undecided but this kind of tips me to the Sho side.
