[Sir Francis Dashwood]

The government, from the Oval Office down to the local city council positions are corrupt to the core.

You got that right, 99%.

Grants Pass (the city) isn't bad, it is Josephine county that is REALLY bad.

We managed to get rid of one liberal this last election and elected a whole slate for a new city council. There are still two liberals on a three member county commission and the courthouse is brimming over with carpetbaggers and grave robbers.

Your comment and the locality (Grants Pass) reminded me of a story from back in 2002 or so. It took awhile to google the story as I couldn’t recall much, other than CPS workers taking kids from a vacationing family because they were “too skinny”. Mom and Dad made matters worse when they tried, but failed :( to get their kids back by hijacking the CPS van after a visit.

I'll put my county government up against anybody's when it comes to stupidity and greed!

The elected officials and county employees think they own the courthouse...and apparently they do considering what they get away with.

They just gave themselves a 7% payraise!
