Reason magazine reports the board fined an activist $1,000 in 2010 for engineering without a license, after the activist told the City Council in La Pine, Oregon, that a proposed power plant would be too loud. In 2015, board members also decided to issue a warning to Portland City Commissioner Dan Saltzman for calling himself an "environmental engineer."
Saltzman, Reason reports, "has a bachelor's degree in environmental and civil engineering from Cornell University, a master's degree from MIT's School of Civil Engineering, and is a membership of the American Society of Civil Engineers."
FFS. sounds to me like the city council is in desperate need of money.
