"I heard Multnomah is almost 2/3rds in favor."

"Multnomah is the reason Bush lost the State."

Multnomah...ugh! It's really a shame that one crappy corner ruins an, otherwise, lovely state.

Especially since I'm, now, used to the weather! ;o)

It only took eight years to get used to it! lol

[dixiechick2000]

LOL! Golly gee, I've never done THAT before! heheh

Well, actually I have...and it's very embarrassing!

[dixiechick2000]

BTW, I agree with your post. ;o)

The property taxes in Texas are astonomical. I don't think that I would ever move there, after learning how obscene you property taxes are.

I was wondering what or where Multnomath is and this is what came up on their county website under culture:

Children and Youth (7)
Cyberculture@
Filipino (1)
Indian (1)
Intentional Communities (2)






























Jewish@
Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals (13)
Native American (1)
Naturists and Nudists (1)
Organizations (4)
Thai (1)
Tibetan (2)

Multnomah is the pot-smoking, transgendered, satan-worshipping, communist center of OregonE.

Our rep from Longview thinks it is a good idea to remove the property tax rate caps. He is a GOPer...

Someone was telling my husband that he pays 20,000 a year in property taxes in the Houston area, another guy is paying 14000 on a tract house. That's insane.

They rank WA state as the fifth most highly taxed state, but our property taxes are less that 1/3 what you pay. I don't get it.

Cut taxes, don't raise them!

OREGONIANS, WAKE UP!!!!!

"I usually pay the newspaper bill. I told my husband that, if he wants to read the paper, he can pay the bill from now on. I haven't read the paper in almost 2 weeks, and I will not read it again."

I canceled the Red Guard here in Eugene, years ago when they took Mallard Fillmore off of the comic page and hid it in the classified section because they said it was too (the left-wing wacko's raised a stink) controversial.

Cut taxes, don't raise them!

Be Well - Be Armed - Be Safe - Molon Labe!

I haven't seen any poll numbers. I am wondering if the Pro 28 crowd are misleading people by not quoting real polling numbers.

Thoughts?

[dixiechick2000]

Check this link for a poll released last week, I believe...

http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/front_page/1043153905265960.xml

Pray for a high turnout!

[dixiechick2000]

BTW, check my #38. I don't know if the pro-28 crowd is misleading people about the poll numbers, but the media is certainly pushing their agenda. If you don't listen to talk radio, you don't know that there is even another side to this.

[dixiechick2000]

Oh, nooooo! Not Mallard!

That just goes to show you what their agenda is. The Oregonian won't put Mallard Filmore in the paper...period!

"Cut taxes, don't raise them!"

Bump!

Unfortunately, there has been a disturbing phenomenon since vote by mail was established. If the election is going to be reasonably close (as it often is in Oregon because of the split down the middle between liberals and conservatives), liberal Multomah County will simply 'come up' with the number of votes they need to win at the last minute - after all others in the state have reported. The measure will have to go down big to go down.

[dixiechick2000]

Yes, vote by mail is a HUGE problem. And, your right...Multnomah is always the first to start counting and the last to complete their count.

Give the man a medal! Quite so. But considering the shenanagins in this state it could also be true, sadly....

[abcraghead]

Thanks for the ping. I still think it won't pass, but then again, we did get Kitzengowski as gov... or is he going by Kuloknhaber now?

Cross your fingers, ladies, gentleman, and Portlanders. The future of Oregon is at stake here, the state will change radically one way or the other depending on tomorrow.
