on Police Matters
I think the Portland police are a little full of themselves. The tail is clearly wagging the dog here. I'm appalled that people are supporting someone shooting a girl at point blank.

on Sam Scandal
Clearly Scott of the police has an agenda. Adams didn't break any laws. Why are the police involved? Why are they saying there's no proof a crime has been commited? Are we innocent until proven guilty?
The Portland police scare me.
Sam Adams sex life is his own business. He should not resign.

on Measures 56 and 59: Tax Policy
I would consider myself socially liberal, but fiscally conservative. Almost without exception I vote against anything that increases taxes. I don't mind paying taxes, but I want my government to spend it efficiently. Once you raise taxes it is almost always impossible to rescind them. States like Arizona are taxed more heavily, and unfortunately it often pays for pork barrel projects that do little for the community. Don't let the genie out of the bottle.

on Jury Deliberations
I think the prosecuting attorney is way off the mark. He seems to be more interested in his own views and agenda than the public good.
As a member of the public, I can say that I am very interested in this subject. I think a unanimous jury is a very positive thing.
