My question is how deep into this mess is Ron Wyden? I can easily imagine him joining in on the elite dinner get-togethers at the Staford home, solving all the problems for the little people.
Still catching up on mails thus a late comment. I don't have a lot of smarts, especially financing smarts. But I have instinct and it's telling me there is a lot of dirty money flowing into state politicians pockets. Also of great curiosity to me is the amount and legality of cash drug money lining politicians pockets. As recently seen on OMG James O'Keefe Blackrock video 'politicians are bought, often times very cheaply'.
Contributions need to be brought up at every town hall, coffee klatch or whatever meeting with local politicians. I did recently in Wilsonville and received a lot of blank stare 'I don't know', 'I'll have staff look into it' and 'I wouldn't know where contributions come from'.
As usual, the ORP and GOP seems silent and feckless on these matters. Time for some leadership!
This is the essence ("mother's milk) of politics...and bores most voters. Too much heavy-lifting for the naive. It was all over Prop 110. We will see a flood of east coast bucks in the upcoming DA Schmidt race. It's all over the "non-profit" money laundry. It's at the heart of Multnomah county's payoffs to Homelessness Inc. It's behind GuvTina's bromance with builders and "housing first" opportunists. It's why "density" will start cramming jerry-built apartment stacks intro single-family neighborhoods. We are drowning in mother's milk.

Wow, thanks for sharing, SPH. I hadn't seen this. Very, very interesting.

There’s a lot of money in politics. Democrats in Oregon have, in my opinion, pushed the envelope because they have felt invincible.
