Sam Adams’ Spokesperson Resigns

a1p41adams21

Well, the Portland Mayor has decided to keep his job, but that hasn’t kept Wade Nkrumah, the Mayor’s spokesperson from seeking greener pastures. Though the article doesn’t point it out, Nkrumah is the former Oregonian reporter who Adams hired after he began investigating Breedlove’s involvement with Adams. We know it’s one state south, but Portland has totally become the gay Twin Peaks.
Oregon Live reports:

Nkrumah, 48, declined to comment on his reasons but said his departure was voluntary. He said he spoke with the mayor and submitted a short resignation letter. Adams, he said, was “disappointed.” Nkrumah, a former reporter for The Oregonian, said he has no new job lined up. He accepted the post in November, with Adams set to take over as mayor in January. Nkrumah said he does not believe anyone else on Adams’ staff has resigned in the wake of Adams’ admission that he lied about a 2005 relationship with Beau Breedlove.
