In a recent survey of local Oregon banks, vitually all of them said that deposits are up...way up in some instances. But, many do not want more deposits because they are considered liabilities and the banks need assets to balance the sheet. Some say they need a TARP for local banks much like the national banks received to get these assets. What does Linda say about this?

Please ask Ms. Barlow what is the best way to fight private corporations from taking our water and selling it for profit?

The people of Oregon own the water, not Cascade Locks or Wilsonville. They rent it through water rights. They should not sell the water of Oregon to private corporations which resale it for up to 8000% profit.

Any type of treatment plant will require ongoing operations and maintenance. Wilsonville chose Veolia, a French multinational corporation, to run their new treatment plant. In dire economic times, what is to prevent Portland from privatizing our water system's operations?
