Re: “Saltzman Suspends Chasse Cop For Beanbag Shot On 12-Year-Old Girl, Updated With Video”
What is abundantly clear after watching the vid many times, is that Humphreys can't wait to shoot. He could have helped his partner subdue and cuff the girl, he did not. He went Rambo. He is obviously unfit to carry a weapon. And yet the PPB falls in lock-step behind him. It's not a "thin blue line" in Portland, it's a fat blue wall. (as the Justice Center photo demonstrates)

Re: “Quick! How Do You Rescue a Child in a Runaway Balloon?”
"The balloon appeared to be a saucer-shaped, Mylar-coated helium balloon"
Just like Roswell. The aliens thought they were rescuing one of their own.
Re: “Nick Fish's Chief Of Staff Quits”
"But I think I'm a pushover as a commissioner."
Yes, Commissioner Fish, you are. I believe that is part of the problem. Since election, you have take the easy, silent way almost every time.
My guess is that Chase and Rubio expected your prior progressive creds to hold up. They haven't.
Re: “Anti-Tax Nuts File Two Referenda.”
D, you are nuts. Oregon has one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the nation.
Percentage of Oregon businesses that pay the min. $10/annual tax?
66%! (Including ATT, Time-Warner, and Pfizer.)
Percentage of business owners completely unaffected by the new tax?
93%!
Amount we would have to raise corporate taxes to be in the ballpark with Idaho or Nevada?
$3 BILLION" (and they are not exactly progressive hotbeds)
Amount corporate taxes would actually be raised? $260 million.
Most small businesses in Oregon are partnerships, LLPs, LLCs, and S corporations. These companies will pay a flat tax of $150. C corporations that do not report a profit will only pay about one-tenth of one percent of their Oregon sales. Small business with sales of $500,000 or less will pay just $150 a year.
You are right about one thing. We are #2. Quite possibly because our schools, roads, and health-care levels are crumbling to deep-south levels through lack of funding. Thank you for helping us get there.
We don't listen to Amish auto mechanics, or Christian Science surgeons, or fundamentalist archeologists...why in the 9 hells should we listen to D on taxes???
