You were warned. TriMet rebuffs C-Tran request

TriMet reiterated Wednesday that it has no plans to terminate a controversial light rail contract it signed with C-Tran last year, despite an earlier request from C-Tran to do just that. The two agencies signed the deal last year to detail how they would operate light rail in Vancouver as part of the proposed Columbia River Crossing project. The Interstate 5 Bridge replacement plan has since died, but the contract has no end date, leaving it in legal limbo.

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".

Kitzhaber-backed 'clean fuels' program a hidden tax on gas

"California has adopted the nation's only LCFS, a program energy experts say is infeasible. Forcing manufacturers of gasoline and diesel fuels to meet a standard that can't currently be met puts the state's entire fuel supply in a very precarious position." by John Egge

Timothy McMenamin (@McMenamin4OR) | Twitter

Like most Oregonians, I am deeply concerned about Oregon's spending priorities. We have little to show for the alarming growth in spending. Oregon's government has lacked accountability and transparency. Poor decisions have led to over spending and waste. As your State Representative I will work to restore appropriate spending priorities in Salem. The Legislature has held schools and public safety hostage every time they want more revenue for non-essential programs. Spending has increased remarkably while the quality of core government services has significantly decreased. Many agencies are ineffective and inefficient with little or no legislative oversight. As your State Representative I will work to promote job growth and long-term economic stability. I value hard work and will work to make it possible for businesses to do what they do best --- create jobs and ignite the economy. Regulations should guide, not restrict, and tax policy should encourage, not discourage, entrepreneurial risk-taking and small business creation.

More Money, Same Problems for Oregon Schools

Instead of investing too little, Oregon schools have failed to invest their scarce resources in the right places, namely students and teachers. A major part of the problem lies in the hiring of an ever-increasing number of administrators and non-teaching support staff who are soaking up highly valuable but limited funding. A report released by the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice shows that Oregon had a 47.3 percent increase in the number of administrators and non-teaching support staff from 1992 to 2009. This astounding growth more than triples that of students and teachers, which only grew by 15.4 percent and 12.7 percent respectively. Oregon schools now employ more administrators and non-teaching support staff than they do teachers.
