The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industry (BOLI) awarded $60,000 to Laurel Bowman-Cryer and $75,000 in damages to Rachel Bowman-Cryer for”emotional suffering.” That must have been one heck of a cake.

So far this year, drug cops in Oregon have intercepted $1,071,727 in cash from 105 drug-related parcels. Last year, they seized $524,915 in 56 packages. This is suppose to double every year even after Marijuana becomes available leagally.

This week’s email comes as Novick and Hales take a breather from their barnstorming tour of town halls and public meetings to push for more street maintenance. According to PBOT’s 2014-15 budget, just $11.3 million of the estimated $102.8 million in discretionary money in the agency’s coffers will go to direct pavement maintenance. The city, Novick said, pays more for other key maintenance work such as traffic control, than on physical pavement. Younger Oregonians are persistently experiencing the highest levels of joblessness. Oregonians’ household net worth has also declined more than 40 percent during the past seven years. Reduced equity in personal residences, diminished savings and increased personal debt are the leading causes for the sharp decline in net worth. In my opinion, Oregon’s economy will not recover until any number of failed political polices are dramatically reversed. The outcome of the recent state election virtually ensures that those changes will not be made in the next four years.

What about the middle class? Those working, paying very high taxes and barely able to pay for their health insurance, their children’s college tuition (which will go up under the present Governor’s budget), their own rent/mortgage payment, increasing cost of food and ever increasing utility bills (due primarily to energy companies being forced to incorporate expensive ‘alternative energy sources’), their car payments and gas in the rural areas of the state…………etc. Why should we borrow, as a state/citizens to pay for new housing for anyone? From the article it appears most will be built in Portland – look around at the incredible poverty in the rural areas of this state. Younger Oregonians are persistently experiencing the highest levels of joblessness. Millennial and members of”Generation X” are generally struggling to make ends meet. Nearly a quarter of the population between the ages of 18 and 25, who want to work, either cannot find jobs or can only find part-time employment.Not surprisingly, Oregonians’ household net worth has also declined more than 40 percent during the past seven years. Reduced equity in personal residences, diminished savings and increased personal debt are the leading causes for the sharp decline in net worth.

The saga of the outdoor smoking ban at Oregon state parks is about to wrap up.
During the past year and a half, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has studied two rules that restrict how smokers of tobacco products can use the state’s 286 parks along with all 362 miles of Oregon Coast beach.
Few issues have been as polarizing for the department. Among detractors, the department has been called everything from a nanny-state enforcer to a rogue branch of tyrannical government on par with Nazis. Among supporters, the department is taking logical steps to ban a toxic poison with no place on our public lands.

One fine day, the Lacey Lady will again take to the sky, bringing with her stories of sacrifice, courage and, above all, hope. But that is six years and more than $3 million in the future. But for now, the iconic B-17 that once soared over gas pumps along Southeast McLoughlin Boulevard just south of Milwaukie will be taking a more prosaic journey to a new home in an 80-foot-by-80-foot hangar in Salem, plus office and classroom space. This is a SHOUT OUT to our friends. B-17 Alliance has a donor who has proposed a $2000 challenge. He will donate $2000.00 if we can match his $2000.00 If everyone gave $10.00 we would exceed this goal and that would be super cool! Will you help us reach this goal? You can donate at www.B17AllianceGroup.org. or right here on our FaceBook page: www.facebook.com/B17AllianceGroupMilwaukieOregon

Taylor has won more than 60 percent of the vote in both counties against Republican Tim McMenamin, in the heavily Democratic district. Taylor, who has two children enrolled in the Portland Public School system, is focused on bettering public schools and hopes to help restore a full school year. She also wants to increase workforce training and infrastructure so that Oregon businesses are better equipped to compete with businesses in other states. Additionally, she’s concerned with providing in-home care for seniors and protecting the environment.

Tim McMenamin has Unparralled name recognition along with a hard work ethic. Tim has been out in House District 41 for four years now, but his opponent has yet to show any commitment to the District. Rather than pretending an endorsement would make the slightest bit of difference in such races, we’ll simply point out the obvious: The candidates belonging to the party with the huge registration advantage are going to win. This would be the case even if a disadvantaged candidate had unparalleled name recognition, as Timothy McMenamin does in Portland’s House District 41. He’ll still be beaten by Democratic candidate Kathleen Taylor, thanks to her party’s nearly three-to-one registration advantage. That’s to bad. Tim has worked hard for his District and this writer thinks he deserves to win.
