Vote in May. Vote in November..... We all need to keep the train moving. IF you think about it this is easy fodder for full media adds all summer and fall. They are handing us their jobs so to speak. This is an advantage, remember the feeling now and continue to make everyone else remember it.

voters can still win not only by stopping the tax hike but by firing Kotek and everyone else who is behind this undemocratic push...

Jeff, how strongly can a legal argument be made that this ballot measure was not just about the substance of it but also about the date of it?

Because to a rational mind, this seems obvious, and the date-shifting ploy a "dirty trick."

I guess they can do anything they damn well please to maintain this graft and corruption... unless and until they are voted OUT of office. Why am I NOT holding my breath?

Because then you’d turn blue, James. I expect that’s the last thing you’d ever want.

They change to suit themselves. Corruption at its finest.

I don't think their democracy and mine are the same.

The problem is, you can’t just fire a dictator, you have to arrest them, and that’ll never happen in Oregon, folks here are so brainwashed by the left, no matter where you go here in Eugene, you run into crazy people you think the Republicans are evil and that the Democrats are pure and good. With that level of propaganda and mind control, it is very difficult to turn things around.
