Mark Wiener, Consultant to Mayor Charlie Hales, Also Works for Google

Mayor Charlie Hales and Mark Wiener

Mark Wiener's dual roles as campaign consultant to Mayor Charlie Hales and lobbyist for ride-hailing company Uber are under scrutiny at Portland City Hall, as reported by WW in recent weeks

Now it appears Uber isn't Wiener's only corporate client. 

Commissioner Nick Fish says Wiener approached him about a year ago, saying he was working for Google, which is seeking to bring its fast Internet service, Google Fiber, to Portland. 

It's not clear whether Wiener's work falls under Portland's 2006 rules requiring lobbyists to disclose their contacts with public officials. Google hasn't listed Wiener in its lobbying reports to the city. 

Wiener did not respond to WW's request for comment.
