PORTLAND, OR, JUST VOTED FOR A TAX INCREASE SUPPOSEDLY TO HELP THE SCHOOLS. OUR FISHWRAPPER, THE OREGONIAN, FAILED TO REPORT THAT THE TEACHERS NEW HEALTH INSURANCE BILL WOULD RAISE TO $950 A MONTH RIGHT AFTER THE ELECTION. THEY DIDN`T THINK PEOPLE CARED.

Typical of the Oregonian. Lie about conservatives and spike the news like this new tax all the left wing maggots advance their agendas.

Remember, the Oregonian did this for the chilrun.

When that insurance cost is factored in, the cost for each chilrun will make Portland, Oregon's schools among the most expensive in the nation.

Teachers are huge users of health care. Our big local HMO apparently priced itself out of the teacher market and Kaiser picked them up. Local primary care docs say the local HMO has to be much better off now that Kaiser has them. Also, the Kaiser system has to be a shock to some of those who used to visit a doctor's office once or twice a week.

So are the property taxes going up since there are no sales taxes?
