If you want to release the names of Concealed Handgun Permit Holders then I think Medical Marijuana Card Holders should have their names released.

on Banning BPA
Why is our govenrment mettling in petty things like this during their special session?
Let a reduction in market demand force the manufacturers to stop using BPA Let the government actually try to acomplish something meaningful with the special session, like reducing unemployment or improving our tax structure.

on Measure 67
I am planning to vote no on this, and any tax measures, until the legislature figures out how to fix our tax structure.
It is ridiculous that every time the economy gets rough, the legislature tries to place a greater burden on the people of this state. If the state came up with a more balanced tax structure, including a sales tax, maybe we would not be in this position.
The legislature needs to fix this problem permanently and the band-aid fixes and fear mongering tactics.

on Raising Revenue: Corps and Brews
The state of Oregon is ridiculous. Every time that money gets tight, the legislature wants to make new taxes. What is really needed is an overhaul of the tax structure. Begin with these two improvements:
- Add a sales tax (of course this means reducing income tax).
- Eliminate the kicker rebates and establish a real rainy day fund.
