I am disappointed with the Portland Press Herald for not covering the July 16-18 celebration of the 35th anniversary of Portland’s sister-city relationship with Shinagawa, Japan. What’s the point of having a sister-city relationship if the newspaper doesn’t feel that it is newsworthy enough to cover?

On our 30th anniversary, when our delegation traveled to Shinagawa, we were treated like royalty.
