The eagerness with which Gov. Kate Brown imposed a creeping lockdown on the State is astonishing. While initial decision to introduce a degree of social isolation to slow down the spread of the virus seemed justified, at least in the light of what we knew at the time, there is no scientific or legal basis […]
One fallout of the Covid-19 crisis is its severe thrashing of our economy. Not only have all the impressive economic gains of the Trump administration evaporated, but we are now adding to our national debt in scary ways. I hope that all the bailouts are temporary means to solve a temporary problem. To use an […]
Portland attorney James L. Buchal, in association with attorney Tyler Smith of Canby, Oregon, has filed suit in federal district court to enjoin the Governor’s continuing shutdown of businesses throughout the State.

Actions speak louder than words! Quick talking, political promises have gotten us nowhere, as evidenced by the voter pamphlet statements of 2004, by some of those who are currently on our county commission. The issues they promised to solve are just as urgent and relevant today as they were 16 years ago! We finally have […]
