Whatever game you're describing doesn't correspond to this situation.
The liberal voters in OR have spoken and have elected like-minded officials. I say give them what they want and implement all the wonderful climate garbage they want.
Its not the climate stuff that anyone on FR cares about. I don't. Its the social issues. What if the legislature mandates kindergarteners to learn about homosexual sex, condoms, cross-dressing story time, Islam/Ramadan curricula? Those kids have no choice. I support what the Rs have done there. No more retreating.
Did you read the article? It will really hurt business, dems already passed a half a percent gross income tax on any dollar over 1 million on business. It will hurt the poor working people with to start .22 cents to a gallon of gas.
The city of Portland voted for the dems, the rest of the state did not.
