SteveBlair's comments:
on Total Tax Makeover
Oregon and Washington are different state structures. Oregon is a constistutional state and Washington is a statute state. A sales tax in Oregon would have to be changed by the people and in Washington it can be changed by the congress. So if you add a sales tax in Oregon and "reduce income and/or property tax" it would work better than what we have today.

on Sam Scandal
People are missing the point. It is not what Sam did in his own privacy, it is that he lied, told someone else to lie

on Unemployment: Regional Ripples
Just becuase you have a contract the receipient doesn't have to take the bonus. This just shows me that senior management doesn't get it at the worker level.
