Redmond, Ore — Someone left a dead raccoon and a sign with "intimidating language" that mentioned a Black city councilor outside the law office of an Oregon mayor, police said.
Redmond Mayor Ed Fitch found the raccoon and the sign on Monday, the Redmond Police Department said in a news release. The sign mentioned Fitch and Redmond City Councilor Clifford Evelyn by name, police said.
Fitch called the sign's language "racially hateful." He declined to elaborate but told The Bulletin, "I feel bad for Clifford. It seems there's some people in town that can't accept the fact that Clifford is Black and is on the City Council."
