The Court's have ruled that States have every right to regulate abortion. Parental notification, hospital affiliation, waiting periods, informed consent are all State's rights. Ultrasounds prior to an abortion build on the Supreme Court’s 1992 decision in Casey, in which the court upheld a state regulation requirin...

For some, the measure represents the best chance to bolster spending significantly on Oregon’s public schools because of voters’ repeated refusal to accept a state sales tax. So we already know that many of the big corporations are not paying much in taxes, heck isn’t the minimum corporate tax in Oregon $150? So wher...

An "armchair warrior" for the poor. Incite the riots and then castigate those who have to put it down for being 'brutal'; I saw this liberal play before in 1964 at the Democratic convention. It's out of the old hippie playbook.

Expected knee-jerk reaction, Stevenson but way over the top.

So far, Iditarod mushers' cooler heads appear to be prevailing. Zirkle and King embraced the empathy that the Nula...

Someone on the Iditarod panel took swift action to have Demboski questioned and then arrested because he admitted that he likely caused the dog team/musher ordeal.

Do you expect Wal-mart to swallow the tax or will they increase the cost of products sold in Oregon? Expect Wal-mart prices to increase by 2.5% - unless there is pyramiding involved in which case price increases will be higher.

I see pedestrians crossing when and where they shouldn't all the time, all over town. I suspect this accident would have happened whether or not the driver was under the influence.

I reject the premise of Havelock's article. He states that the PFD cuts hits rich and poor equally. On that I agree.
