Sounds similar to what California just approved...

"All of the Democrat house reps"

Democratic.

It's the "Democratic Party", not "Democrat Party". When referring to a single person in the party, it's "A Democrat", otherwise it's "Democrats" or in this case "All of the Democratic house reps".

I bring this up only because the right-wing over the past decade or so has been pushing the incorrect use of the Democratic party name in an effort to annoy people, telegraph disgust/disrespect, etc. This childish behavior is especially common with the teabagger set and their enablers.

We wouldn't want the Mercury to accidentally perpetuate a linguistic meme best retired in the third grade.

(And yes, I'm aware of the name change from "teabagger" to "tea party" and its similar controversies about what those adherents want to be called by others. I used the original form here to prove a point.)

Back to bikes!

Bob Stacey gets it: you can't divorce our urban form from how we choose to get around. The two go hand-in-hand.

Bob Stacey has dedicated most of his life to creating great communities, and when I worked with him, almost always commuted via bike, walking, or transit.

Hughes, on the other hand, is backed by developers who want to blow out the urban growth boundary and expand onto farmland (and has been doing some lobbying for them).

Suppose that's why Stacey earned the endorsements of the Sierra Club, OLCV, and folks like Clackamas County Chair Lynn Peterson, Kitzhaber, Roberts, and Blumenauer.

Evan nailed it. Vote Stacey if you care about anything in our region besides money.

Go back to Hillsboro, Tom Hughes.
