#556 - Portland commissioner slams PBOT contractor with ‘thin blue line’ flag

City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty slammed a city contractor shown displaying a pro-police emblem while on the clock — but said there was little she could do after the company declined her request to remove the symbol.

Hardesty released a statement on the matter after a photo surfaced on Twitter showing an Oregon Concrete Solutions-branded truck with an emblem of the “thin blue line” flag affixed to the front driver’s side panel.

The truck was parked near a sidewalk expansion project on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard near 32nd Avenue on May 13 when the photo was snapped, Pamplin Media Group has learned.

On May 27, Hardesty confirmed that she was aware of the issue, but said her ability to respond was limited, despite being the elected official who oversees the transportation bureau.
