Portland is in the midst of a housing crisis caused by too few homes for too many people. So why is it considering a proposal to make things worse? Editorial: http://www.oregonlive.com/…/where_a_home_for_everyone_coll.…
Sen. Jeff Kruse has yet to apologize or demonstrate that he understands that he's made his colleagues in Salem feel humiliated and uncomfortable. When he has commented on the allegations, Kruse had played dumb or spouted old-school lines that these women are just being overly-sensitive and misunderstood his good intentions.
Sen. Kruse should resign his seat. The Republican owes that to the people of Roseburg, who - because of his bad behavior - have lost their voice in the Oregon Senate.

The Portland region is suffering a critical shortage of affordable housing and the number of people suffering homelessness has continued to rise.

Rising chronic absenteeism, declining test results and the 3rd worst high school graduation rate in the country expose the costs of Oregon Gov. Kate Brown's contradictory educational "vision." http://www.oregonlive.com/…/gov_browns_education_vision_bl.…
Last week, the Early Learning Council ignored recommendations by the Oregon Health Authority and the Department of Education that licensed day care centers test their water for lead. Instead, the Early Learning Council decided it was a "huge burden" to require operators to cover tests estimated to cost between $63 and $95.
Concern that facilities might close - broken by the $100 charge - apparently outweighs the risk that young children could suffer lasting learning disabilities or nervous system damage from even a low-level exposure to lead.

From a letter to the editor by Curt Helmer of Warrenton:
"Many professional athletes are kneeling in protest during the playing of the national anthem. I do not take offense at their actions. I do not view this as a protest against veterans. I'll bet every single one of those players would speak highly about, and pay tribute to, those who serve in the military."

From this week's George Will column:
"Convinced that people, like the planet, are frightfully fragile -- vulnerable to ingesting refined flour and countless other dangers -- it's no wonder progressives want a caring government to superintend our lives."
