Execs don't make the company.

Well, except that one is normally supposed to believe that your local District Attorney's office is telling the public the truth. I guess that our new District Attorney Patricia Perlow that our Governor appointed may not be as good as folks claimed she is. I wonder if this incident will hurt her chances in the upc...

Good day there, 40-20 (I won't use your real name). My post to Bill specifically addressed his mistatement regarding the content of Trump's statement. It's quite one thing to defend a comment, it's a very different thing to contend the statement was never made. You're, as always, welcome to state your own opinion re...

For PETA, catching fish is 'animal abuse'. For some Hindus, a different religion, killing mosquitos is forbidden. For some Hindus, the doctrine of Ahimsa discourages wanton destruction of nature including wild and cultivated plants. Hermits (sannyasins) are urged to live on a fruitarian diet so as to avoid th...

Trump's statement was a specific reference to the Mexican government "dumping" their undesirables on the U.S. Your post denied he had made such a statement. I corrected that (as did Old Soul) with a quotation of Trump's actual statement.

Suing a DA who is supervising an ongoing investigation and who has "prosecutorial discretion" is a waste of time. If this is truly a homicide case, it is and has been customary (and legal per the US Supreme Court) all over the US for police and prosecutors to limit information from the public until someone is arrest...

And once again, as in dozens of your posts when you boast of your hate for Obama, it's just one man's opinion. Where is the link to back it up? Obama hates America? Complete BS. It's clear where the hate comes from and it's not Barack Obama.

Jackie: Our current District Attorney, Patricia Perlow, has only been on the job for 7 months. She was appointed by Gov Kate Brown last year, after the previous DA Alex Gardner resigned.

Well, let us hope that the DA's office and the police are not as cold-hearted as you, and value her life more. Her killer or killers need to be brought to justice.

My comment is hardly misleading. The community based, 16 bed residential facilities had a net cost (after federal reimbursement) of about 35K/patient.
