The 2012 Chief Justice order did not require or allow Supreme Court's vote this week to grant former AG exception to pro bono service requirements for benefit hike
You almost get the feeling that laws really don’t matter in Oregon. Especially in regard to Democrats. I hope it doesn’t take a cataclysm like LA is experiencing to wake people up to how bad they are being screwed.
when someone blatantly breaks the laws of the state, but the state says that is okay, what is the purpose of laws? I guess we need to revise our laws to include the phrase: 'if those in charge of enforcing the law say it is okay to ignore the law then it is okay to ignore the law, but just for those who have friends in charge of enforcing the law." might as well put it in writing and recognize the reality of our state government. WHY BOTHER!!!
I am pretty sure that I’m not gonna be able to claim the days i sat on the bench as a Judge pro bono or any of the other volunteer work iI’ve done giving legal speeches and training . I won’t be getting credit for one dime of those volunteer activities towards my retirement, which after 40 years of service is considerably less than what Rosenblum, the former attorney general, gets.
Anyone interested in finding out what exactly former retired government employees, or elected officials make, like me, can go to the website which reports all such benefits and pay to anyone who looks it up.
Go to. “PERS” under “oregonlive” then enter the last and first name of the retiree.
Not (wanting to) dig into the statutes involved, I probably wouldn't comprehend them anyway, I was wondering what would qualify as pro bono.I guess you would be charged back for educating others on the ins and outs of the legal system. Must keep the circle closed and tight.
It seems if the court was going to break the law and give her the bonus it should have only been equal to the amount of pro bono work completed at the time which looks to be between 40 and 50%. For such a stupid decision I guess we can be glad it only cost a extra $12,000 and not a million.

Of course they did. They scratch each other's backs. Disgusting.
PERS for thee, but not for me.
Rules for thee, but not for me.
Once again, the political incest which infects this state shows its ugly face.

Is there any branch of Oregon's government or elected officials that are not corrupt to the core? Asking for a friend; I already know the answer
Thanks Jeff. This shows the problem with one party rule.
Change your party registration to "Democrat" and do whatever you please in this state.
Every Democrat for the last four years, "No one is above the law!"
is there someone with standing that can sue them? this cannot go on.
File a petition for writ of mandamus against the PERS administrator and move to declare the ORSC to have a conflict of interest?
One party states are the pits.

its not called "stupid". the word is VENAL, as championed by Hillary, Joe, and the rest.
PS: Joe is pretty good at throwing money to the masses, too.
