The most frustrating aspect of the Oregon Legislature's special session was their total failure to address the budget shortfalls that could be alleviated by ending or modifying the kicker.  The budget is a serious concern for all Oregonians and not dealing with the ridiculous kicker is a supreme failure by the state legislature.

I'm also still irritated with the way the legislature raided the cultural trust funds.
