Cartel Alive, Thriving, and Growing in Portland & Oregon

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.

How Much More In State, Property, County, & City Taxes Do You Want To Pay?

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?? People, Can You Not See The Cronyism??

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.

Five things to know about Oregon's outdoor smoking ban!!

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.

Terry Scott, B-17 Alliance Group Executive Director, Lacey Lady's Home

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

A Chicken In Every Pot, and a Car In Every Garage but who Pays??

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.

The no-brainer bunch Editorial endorsement by The Oregonian

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.

Willamette Week Endorses My Opponent Read Her Statement Can't This Up!

"When asked this time about tax reform, for example, Taylor wasn’t prepared to talk in any depth about what she might prefer, except to say a more progressive system would be better. Of all the issues Oregon faces—taxes, mental health care, school reform, to name a few—she says her absolutely No. 1 issue is e-cigarettes. She wants to pass laws against minors buying e-cigs and how they can be marketed. That’s a pretty narrow agenda".

Portland street fee, unpaved roads, a problem the fee won't fix

City of Portland officials tout unpaved roads as a reason we need the street fee (BD has the 2nd highest amount in the city!), yet the truth comes out the street fee would do nothing for paving unpaved streets. What do you think about this development?

Vote 411 Guide Of the many tax suggestions would you support and why?

Timothy E McMenamin:
The way that Obamacare collects the penalty for not having insurance is a 5th Amendment violation, too -- but that one hasn't hit the court system yet. I don't think the subsidy issue will be enough, but if everyone can get out of paying the penalty by asserting their 5th amendment rights, then I think that may well be the final nail.

Oregonians Voter Guide 1 Issue Opponent;Ban E-Cigs Mine;Jobs

If you could introduce one bill in the 2015 legislative session that would become law, what would it be and why should Oregonians support it? Timothy E McMenamin: Repeal SB 100 passed in 1973. This would streamline industrial land use laws and restrict excessive regulations. Oregons Land Conservation and Developement Commission (LCDC) is an endless quagmire for Oregon cities, who simply can't jump through the hoops necessary to expand their Urban Growth Boundries (UGB). In the last decade efforts by five cities plus Metro to expand their UGB's have failed, having been rejected by either LCDC or the Oregon appellate courts. We need to remove these barriers to economic developement and job growth.

My Opponent Not As Progressive as We Thought

Did you know that TimothyMcMenamin's opponent, Kathleen Taylor received a donation from.a Soft Drink PAC to keep sodas in schools? And Comcast, to corner the cable market and over charge you with hidden fees and 14 billing cycles a year?? A vote for Kathleen Taylor, is a vote against your wallet, and, even more precious, YOUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH.

Measure 90 Limits Voter Choice in November, Backed by Corporate Special Interests

Corporations and millionaire CEOs drafted and funded Measure 90 to make it easier for them to elect politicians who will side with their narrow corporate agenda, at the expense of working Oregonians.
Measure 90 virtually guarantees that minor parties and independent candidates will not appear on the November ballot. In"Top-Two” states California and Washington, 25% of November races are now between candidates from just one major political party.
