on Candidate Conversation: Chris Dudley
Mr.Dudley
you keep referring to creating private sector jobs and keeping "good jobs" in Oregon. Keeping this concept this mind, how many state jobs are you thinking of eliminating and where do you suggest these middle class oregonians find jobs? How many prisons and prison programs are you considering closing? What is your vision for the Department of Corrections and are you considering privatizing corrections?
Thank you.

on State Elections
I just love the support being thrown to businesses and corporations while state employees are made to be the "bad guys". Remember that state employees are your middle class and that if we don't work, we don't buy anything from businesses and we don't pay taxes, so what are the plan to save government jobs? We never hear a peep about this issue while government lay offs are what kept the unemployment up last month in Oregon.

on Bullying in School
Bullying also happens in school buses...last week I called the principal of the Lakeridge HS re: bullying in one of the bus including racial slurs, white power references and spitt balls...the bus driver was quite apathetic about it, the kids got talked to. I asked my son about the problem, guess what...still going on. So very sad.
