I think your reporter missed the point of the article's subject, at least in your hard-copy newspaper headline. Street pot is far less expensive than dispensary pot and (from what I've heard) stronger. I know it's available for as low as $150 an ounce, so why would one go to a dispensary and pay $15 a gram?

For the cut caucus...in order to affect the pension, the pension trustees would need to vote tofreeze the plan, reduce the benefits, or some other action.

Why is tiny housing not a permanent solution? Not the huts, but small living spaces? What does an un-childrened person or couple (or even one child-one parent) need other than a place to cook, a place to sleep, a bathroom, a bit of closet space and a place to sit around? Maybe money spent on small, studio-like or tiny ...

Sure. You said "i have yet to read one [review], because I believe in the right of free speech, even on the Register Guard website."

Shining a spotlight on the enduring white supremacist character of our institutions is neither 'validating' them, nor is it being 'racist from another quarter' to do so.

I don't feel a lot of sympathy for rich Republican company CEOs. Compare a company owner standing in line. When the line is long he gives his stay-at-home wife a call to tell the nanny to watch the kids a little longer, and checks in with his team and tells his assistant to patch in his conference calls.

I thought this was an interesting idea, though making a decision about who is "less bad" is not a "sophisticated" decision.

You caught that too. Mark is a quick change artist. When I challenged him on "Photo Radar" at the KAKM debate his response was "just get over it. " But the truth is Mark has many supporters who let him get away with his dirty deeds with those kind of "brush-offs."

This looks like an offshoot of section 8 housing disguised as homelessness. Once the people start getting the rents paid, is it for a lifetime? If they're not working after two years with this kind of support are they kicked out of their apartments?

I'm all for the grocers selling liquor in a competitive environment. The state has no business to be in liquor sales. And if they decide to tax the bottle, then maybe people will drink less and move over to the cheaper street marijuana.

Indeed, we opposed this measure in 2014 and still oppose it. We already have problems with guns on campus and until those issues are resolved we definitely don't need more guns on campus.
