Oregon Courts SOL

March 6, 2003 · Posted in The Oregon Trail 

Here’s a must-read from Jack Bog. Details of the sorry situation of Oregon Courts from a fine blogger. I knew there were problems, but wasn’t really aware of the extent of the problem. Think I’ll be parking in the driveway from here on out…one vehicle breakin (this car) is plenty for me.

Education has been much more my issue (it’s all bottled up inside!) to this point, but this is freaky stuff. This whole state is falling apart. Crime rates are skyrocketing, schools are shutting down, teachers are signing contracts, reactionary right-wingers are seizing power and making bizarre demands. I love Portland, and want to make a difference…but it’s one helluva stone to chip away at.

    A bit of anecdotal evidence in support of this here. Talking to people yesterday (and reading blogs) I heard mention of two cars being broken into and two bicycles being stolen in the recent past. Also, walking down the street near where I work (the fancy-pants Pearl district) I am frequently seeing car class on the ground along the sidewalk.
