Not sure, I haven’t checked. I despise the local governments here. I don’t live in Eugene, but check out it’s mayor. Kitty Piercy, some of the things she has done Pelosi would blush at.
For instance, remember OWS? Piercy set up a fence all around the Jefferson park under the overpass (downtown Eugene), and allowed them to camp in it. Basically it turned into a drug addled, disease ridden bum camp. Many young naive girls were raped, fondled, etc. I think two men were even murdered. She still would not take it down.
I will go check the polls. I listened to defazzio speak at LCC one time, because I was basically forced to. He actually doesn’t take the pay raises he is offered. Which I can admire. But his politics are a joke. He spoke in a forum of about 20 students, there were maybe 25 people in the room. It was interesting to see how a democrat progressive leftist to the max could speak so well that I forgot for a moment who I was listening to. I cannot deny the charm of these delusional minds. I think that is much of the problem, master manipulators, con artists. Playing off the ignorant.
But I don’t even care, there is no point. I vote but conservatives never win. The wealthy in Eugene and Portland are MOSTLY progressives, conservatives are a rare breed around these parts. Throwing their money at whichever uber progressive comrade they like the most. I’ll vote but I know that the GOP will not win Oregon. I have lived here most of my life and I can tell which way the wind is blowing. The local papers are all leftist drivel. There are two big colleges in Oregon, especially in Eugene which the left control. I have a family member who is surrounded by patriots and conservatives, that went to OSU. I saw him a few years back and had mentioned how terrible Obama is. He stared at me like I was some kind of inbred hick.
I live in Portland - yes, disgusting what has happened to Oregon politically.
