Great update. I'm ready to sign the damn petition with haste and alacrity. I have no patience for these political games. I should either be Governor or stay retired. It can't be something in-between.
“Preserving the full opportunity for civic participation is essential to democratic governance, and I worry that waiting until the statutory deadline risks undermining public trust in that process and in the fairness of our decision making.” You think? With their super majority, I wonder how much ‘participation’ the Democrats allowed Republican legislators?
Yes Sollman isn’t concerned about democracy. She claims we don’t have a sales tax in my only time that I stomached going to one of her constituent meetings.
"Many Oregonians, across party lines, believe that delaying action on this legislation may limit the window for opponents to pursue the referral process."
What's with the "May?" I thought this was clear cut.
UPDATE: I just added an update at the end of the article to mention Sen. Jeff Golden (D-Ashland) office emailed me a copy of a letter HE sent to Kotek wed. The letter is very direct.
She's an outright LIAR. She is a disgrace. She will do whatever she wants and NO ONE will hold the psycho accountable, not even the spineless Nigel Jaquiss of Willy Weak. He was thrilled to destroy John Kitzhaber, a very decent man but when it comes to Teeeena, nope. Not a peep. The only consolation is knowing that Tina Kotek will be remembered as a selfish, conniving, tone deaf crook, with a HUUUUGE disapproval rating. GOOD. She earned it. All of it.
He won a Pulitzer for breaking the long-covered up story of Neil Goldschmidt and the girl/woman whose life he destroyed. Do people not know this anymore???
Tell that to the Texas Publisher two tweeted it back in 2016. My "hit piece" was shared WIDELY.
You don't know about all the women Nigel has offended over the years, do you? I do though, as they have emailed me about their experiences.
Or the fact that when he was trying to get a job as a columnist with a very famous national newspaper, a few years ago, they turned him down, because of my "hit piece." Because they recognized his racist behavior, with regard to that awful example of Yellow Journalism, Nigel's "hit piece"
The reality is, Nigel is a racist and what he did when he wrote his "hit piece" on Fred Stewart, a black man running for office, was he engaged in extremely immoral conduct as a journalist.
There really is a great deal you simply do not comprehend, but do continue to be a Sheeple, consumed with mindless adoration for a man you really don't know. LOL...
Jaquiss is the best reporter this state has ever had. He had nothing to do with Kitzhaber's devolution, which Kitzhaber did to himself for his idiot girlfriend.
Try reading my point. Reading comprehension is critical for journalists and editorialists. It is also critical for publishers and writers. You used journalism first not me. I did not defend her. I do not need to do so. “Girlfriend”? I do not know her thus it is illogical to make that assumption. A gross assumption (probably should not use the word “gross” here since you likely do not understand the literary meaning in this context), questions your prior attempt at insulting me with comment about logic. As you continue to clearly do here, you, as I originally noted, show a lack of class and decorum. And again, you attempt an air of superiority because you’ve published something. And to answer the question, I fully understand everything you have posted here. It is not I who has a reading comprehension issue. You still have not grasped the original point. I quoted you. I quoted your opening sentence of your so-called defense. I did not counter your “story”. Never did. You do make very questionable assertions. Clearly you’re extremely opinionated and must act like the left to push your thoughts. I prefer, as have now done repeatedly, keep to the higher road. Rather interesting. Let me quote this “The Thought Police of the radical left are tightening up on your ability to engage, debate, learn and disagree…”. Interesting words. Clearly not just the lefts “Thought Police”. Reread your missives here. Reread them slowly and closely and intently. Exactly how is your speech here engaging, learning and open to disagreement. Might want to go back and read rules of LD Debate. But hey. If you want to be like Tina and Nigel and the so-called elites and attack, it’s your right. However, being a staunch Constitutionalist, I will also, politely and civilly, counter. Lowering to the lefts method of speech does not “engage, debate, learn and disagree” civilly. Just see Merkley and his divisive language.
Sorry, I am editing the manuscript of another writer. I don't have time to read another of your missives. Good luck to you. I mean that. Hopefully, you develop other interests rather than engaging in Internet Warfare. LOL...
Maybe, again, read your own writing and attempt to insult and learn. Interesting your words turned back on you and you try to get that last dig. Self reflection is critical, as a publisher.
Jaquiss is also a racist. Where you all in 2016? What he did to Fred Stewart was reprehensible. It has cost him work, too. There is a lot you guys don't know. LOL...
Well, Dear, two of my books have been recognized by three National American book awards, and Tama Janowitz, (the NY legendary writer and author of Slaves of New York) blurbed my upcoming book, We Learned to Live in the Castle: Stories, a compilation of nonfiction essays.
So, no offence but your opinion means literally nothing. LOL...
Interesting one posts a comment about how “credentialed” they are in order to attempt to act as if they are superior to others. A clear lack of class tends to make one question someone’s supposed “credits”. You discredit Sally’s opinion with opinions of your own. Your opening sentence is “You are about to read what amounts to an opinion piece.” Side note, a lot of really horrid journalism exists now. Basically everything, like your piece you linked, is opinion and editorial. Just because one has taken journalism courses or has a degree, does not make one a professional. So, you attempt to attack Sally and undermine her “opinion” with your own “opinion”?
Did YOU interview Fred Stewart? Did you interview his elderly mother? No? Yeah, my article, with Josh Fenton's news website back in 2016 was an example of journalism. It was also a first person opinion piece. So what. Based on facts and has been read thousands and thousands of times. Sally's comment was, and I quote...
"This is the only sentence in that massive mound of self-important rubbish I believe.
“Kennedy writes Literary fiction.”
Badly, at that."
Was her comment unbiased or fair? She SHE interview Fred Stewart? Did SHE have women send her several emails in response to the article I wrote about Nigel Jaquiss? No? Well then. She called it a "mound of self important rubbish." Not exactly. LOL...
You and this entity "Sally" are welcome to believe whatever pleases you. Your beliefs are not my problem, or concern, but if she and you make comments that lack logic or are not rational, I have the right to respond. And I did not insult her, but she did insult me, so her lack of debating skills is quite evident because of that. LOL...
Strongly suggest you try reading my post again. Clearly you are extremely opinionated and lack ability to be critiqued. And you attempt to elevate yourself above others stating credentials etc and throwing shade at those who critique you. Interesting. Journalism is about fairness, objective stance, impartiality, neutrality. Leading with your credentials. Leading with “DID YOU…” is a lot like “do as I say not as I do” mentality. Your opening sentence I quoted to you. You said it. Not me. And you then act as if Sally’s opinion is worth less than yours. Journalists report not offer opinion. Editorialists write opinion. Then you have the audacity to attempt to attack my logic and skills or rationality? I live in the analytical world. As a journalist, one should understand the difference in language and words used. Your writing is like that of so-called elites who talk down to others. I prefer to talk equally and up. And I offer facts, logic and common sense in my posts. I’ve criticized c Anderson here for his misunderstanding of the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration and I’ve also agreed with his posts many times. You wish to have a civil conversation, great. If you want to be dismissive of others, then be prepared to be countered. Journalists understand the difference. (Side note you will note I added no insulting oriented words like “dear” or discredit of opinion. Try it).
All of us must focus our discontent with HB3991 into action. Visit https://notaxor.com/ to sign up for information and updates.
Be the life of the party this Thanksgiving by collecting signatures and educating others about what is about to smack their wallets senseless. Playing hide and seek with signing the law is childish and is not leadership.
it would appear that Queen Kotek could give a rip for all you impotent protesters out there. I'm not so sure she isn't right. We have been emasculated and are powerless.
Oregon is waking up. Kotec has overplayed her hand. Even if we fail to get the signatures all of Oregon will blame Kotec and the democrates. Jeff Golden is is already in trouble since he lead the fire map.
The delay in signing the bill has prompted concerns, even from within the Governor's own party, that it undermines public trust and fairness in the democratic process.
"...I worry that waiting until the statutory deadline risks undermining public trust in that process and in the fairness of our decision making."
Of which until now there was an abundance....
LOL
🤣
Great update. I'm ready to sign the damn petition with haste and alacrity. I have no patience for these political games. I should either be Governor or stay retired. It can't be something in-between.
So sick of Oregon taxes. For real estate and buses and roads and car reg. It never ends.
“Preserving the full opportunity for civic participation is essential to democratic governance, and I worry that waiting until the statutory deadline risks undermining public trust in that process and in the fairness of our decision making.” You think?

Yes Sollman isn’t concerned about democracy. She claims we don’t have a sales tax in my only time that I stomached going to one of her constituent meetings.
You can be sure that’s a bridge they will cross before to long if they maintain control of everything.
"Many Oregonians, across party lines, believe that delaying action on this legislation may limit the window for opponents to pursue the referral process."

Good point.
Words mean things. RIP, El Rushbo.
UPDATE: I just added an update at the end of the article to mention Sen. Jeff Golden (D-Ashland) office emailed me a copy of a letter HE sent to Kotek wed. The letter is very direct.
Kotek and her games + Merkley’s pomposity = TOTAL OUTRAGE
She's an outright LIAR. She is a disgrace. She will do whatever she wants and NO ONE will hold the psycho accountable, not even the spineless Nigel Jaquiss of Willy Weak. He was thrilled to destroy John Kitzhaber, a very decent man but when it comes to Teeeena, nope. Not a peep. The only consolation is knowing that Tina Kotek will be remembered as a selfish, conniving, tone deaf crook, with a HUUUUGE disapproval rating. GOOD. She earned it. All of it.
Nigel's a very good reporter. He broke Aimeegate. He does not shy away from going right at powerful Oregon Democrats with his reporting, unlike some.
He won a Pulitzer for breaking the long-covered up story of Neil Goldschmidt and the girl/woman whose life he destroyed. Do people not know this anymore???
Do you honestly think I'm unaware of that? LOL...I know much more about Nigel than you or many others. Try again. :)
Like freaking hell you do.
Can’t remember the last time I read anything in the same stratosphere as bad as that “hit piece” on him that didn’t.
“Dear.”
Tell that to the Texas Publisher two tweeted it back in 2016. My "hit piece" was shared WIDELY.

Keep it coming Sally, you're a HOOT. :)
Jaquiss is the best reporter this state has ever had. He had nothing to do with Kitzhaber's devolution, which Kitzhaber did to himself for his idiot girlfriend.
Kitzabher was far from decent. Maybe above Brown and Kotek but he had no problems infringing on rights of US citizens and Oregonians.

Truly sad you are not willing to “learn”.

This is the only sentence in that massive mound of self-important rubbish I believe.
“Kennedy writes Literary fiction.”
Badly, at that.
