Children don’t pay rent, but they are paying a steep price for Portland’s failure to solve its housing crisis. In Oregon’s largest school district, more than 1,700 students in kindergarten through grade eight churned through at least three schools in the last five years alone, an analysis by The Oregonian/OregonLive shows.

Norm Frink prosecuted Tonya Harding in the aftermath of the attack on Nancy Kerrigan. He had a front row seat to the facts in 1994, facts that apparently don't matter to those involved in the movie "I, Tonya."

"(Harding's ban for life from the figure skating association) was not imposed by the legal system, as, I’m told, the movie presents. There was no high drama scene where Harding begged the judge to let her choose prison in exchange for being able to compete in the future. In real life, Harding could have easily gone prison just like her co-defendants. The only reason she didn’t was that the evidence against her, while compelling, was not as overwhelming as against the others. That’s why we offered to let her plead to one felony with probation instead of a prison term."
