Another Right Wing Juggernaut?
Maybe not.
Oregon voters voted for a tax increase... that's right, a tax increase.

hmmmm.... Things are not what they seem after one lives in Oregon for a while.... what I once viewed as very progressive from Oregon changed dramatically after I lived there for a decade.

No anonymous comments will be accepted. If you wish to say something dissenting or unpleasant, then do so. But, you must identify yourself either with your own name or a fake name. "Anonymous" comments will be deleted without exception.
I stand by my comments. I expect you to do likewise.
