“Isn’t Oregon another failing Democrat enclave, like California and Michigan?”
Yep, the tax and spend rats have been in power for close to two decades. With the eco terrorists, they have gutted the states/counties/cities economies in the name of being green.
First the eco terrorists created the spotted owl faux issue and basically destroyed the timber industry. Next, they worked to destroy ranches and farmers.
Then, the rats who vote got union jobs in the cities/counties and states with great yearly raises and incredible retirement/health benefits.
Throughout the state, they prevent businesses from coming in or staying in with their anti business rules and regulations in the name of being green.
This bs has been happening for close to 2 decades. In the 1990’s, we had thought about retiring to the Oregon coast in the SW/Brookings or Medford areas. Fortunately, my oldest son told me to subscribe to the Oregonian for a year to see what was happening to the state. It only took a few months to realize that Oregon was becoming Oregone!
Californicator land is heading down the same trail only faster and on a bigger scale with millions of free loading illegals in with the native liberal freeloaders.
That, my FRiend, was a marvelously astute summation of the scenario!!! (except you left out my old home state of rural IL)
Welp...the stimulus money is gone, so the cutting will commence. A couple of years ago, they put off the inevitable, though I know they thought the redistribution of wealth would be more successful than it has been. They wasted so much money that it’s mind boggling.
The Beaverton school district was, when we moved here, one of the top school districts in the country.
Today, they are going to start cutting it to the bone.
BTW, it doesn’t matter. It’s been considered to be a “test” high school, because of the “diversity” of cultures, so those kids have been “test” kids for at least a decade.
What a waste...
The only other area I feel as badly for is California.
God love and bless both of you.
The ONLY way to stop these govt thieves is to compel them to submit their financial accounts and tax returns at least once a year-----especially after they vote millions of tax dollars to subsidize cockamamie makework govt projects---(this is the way they launder tax money for themselves).
TAXPAYERS SHOULD DEMAND TO KNOW What did they list on their tax returns as "interest income"? These corrupt thieves exhibit an unmitigated contempt for taxpayers---the con artists see taxpayers as work horses to be beaten into submission to satisfy their lavish lifestyles. Govt thieves should be charged with hate crimes against taxpayers.......among their other crimes.
