Isn’t it a remarkable coincidence that vote-by-mail was approved in 1987 and thereafter no Republican has been elected governor? (Or much of anything else.)
How come the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Agency has hundreds of pages of regulations about worker safety—but nothing that would govern the risk of begging for money in the middle of a street at a freeway onramp?
Who shot Benjamin J. Smith, the only accused shooter in the Battle of Normandale Park?
Why doesn’t the city just give every homeless person a job?
…and how many would turn it down?
Will Superintendent Guerrero cut the ribbon when the first tampon-dispenser is installed in the first elementary school boy’s room.
How come it costs more to build an “affordable” apartment than an “unaffordable” one?
How come Portland is the fall guy for a Wall St. Journal op-ed…
When pols’ say they’ll “fight” global warming, how come they won’t tell us what little Oregon’s impact on avoiding the incineration of the planet will be?
…versus one more Chinese coal-fired electrical generator?

How come people who don’t own property get to vote on property taxes?

How come this decision by our public schools…
…begs the question: what about next year? And the year after?
