100 business visits in Sam's first 100 days in office... actually it was 114 businesses. The first day Sam took office, he started this effort by visiting OHSU. From small to big businesses, Sam and I spent nearly an hour at each visit getting to know the vibrant local business community and hearing from them how City Hall can do things better. "I cannot count the number of times that people said, 'This is the first time anyone from the City Council has ever called me, much less come visit my business,'" stated Sam.
