Portland grumbling

A request for producers and writers. Please put the state when referring to any city called Portland in the United States. There are ten of them according to Mapquest, two of them in New England:

(city/town, state, county, country)
Portland, OR, Multnomah, US
Portland, ME, Cumberland, US
Portland, CT, Middlesex, US
Portland, IN, Jay, US
Portland, TN, Sumner, US
Portland, TX, San Patricio, US
Portland, AR, Ashley, US
Portland, CO, Fremont, US
Portland, FL, Walton, US
Portland, KS, Sumner, US

Thank you. If you do this I'll forgive you the next time you say OR-UH-GONE. Which is wrong, but if it's what they're teaching you in school east of the Rockies how am I supposed to fight that?
