Sorry, Inspectorette: I didn’t know you’re from the beaver state. We used to live there, but moved on. Dau & S.I.L. live and work in the Salem area and are intimately familiar with the details. It’s truly, as you say, sad and infuriating on many levels for us. Thanks for your thoughts.
As you no doubt know, our legislature went Democrat in November, and of course, Gov. Kulongoski is a liberal Democrat. (Hard to imagine that, given his background growing up in a Catholic orphanage, and service in the USMC.) Needless to say, our politicos are in the tank for illegal immigrants. You probably also saw that Portland mayor Tom Potter was outraged at the immigration raid at Fresh Del Monte last week. :-(
Thank you for your service to our country, both in the military and in law enforcement
