I'm not sure I follow your argument here. Are you for or against the anti-discrimination law as it currently is or do you feel it should be amended? Serial killers and pedophiles are not, nor should be, a protected class as their actions are consensual. A murder victim does not consent to having his or her life taken...

Sell it, it is and has always been a money pit, something that Lane County and a lot of other counties felt they needed as a means of showing how well heeled they were. Unfortunately it never achieved a thing but siphon funding and manpower away from the county jail, added to the fleet level of county vehicles, and it'...

Just tax a simple percentage on each barrel and pick a benchmark to calculate it on. AND THEN LEAVE IT ALONE. SET IT IN STONE. No windfall tax and just learn to live on the proceeds.

He isn't profiting off of it, as he doesn't own the restaurant. Food isn't divisive, unless you have a chip on your shoulder and want it to be. Yes, even if that food is from a time in which things happened that were bad. Simply serving the food does not equal condoning other things from that time period.

Dominic - wweek is way to far off their rocker to care about silly things like defamation. Just look at their original article on the subject.
