Top prosecutor condemns new Clackamas county commissioner s racist, transphobic statements.
Clackamas County District Attorney John Wentworth, who took office a few days early on Jan. 1, called for Commissioner Mark Shull s immediate resignation from the Board of County Commissioners on Wednesday, Jan. 13: It shouldn t need to be said, but clearly it does: Racism, religious intolerance and transphobia have no place in our community and especially among our leadership.
