PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Attorney General John Kroger says he'll review Oregon's open government laws to see whether they're [...]
Steve Duin outlines the litany of recent complaints about the Portland Police Bureau in an article for The Oregonian:
In the brutal chain of personalities and events that have licensed Portland police to turn a beanbag shotgun on a 12-year-old girl, the aloof commissioner, absentee mayor and anything-goes police chief aren't' [...]

It is now November and the sale of vehicles has slowed down quite a bit. I have always said that those with money will always buy what they want when they want. The problem we have now [...]
I was at my favorite locally owned coffee shop today and something interesting happened. The was a small stack of Oregonian newspapers at the cash register counter. I paid for a copy because I wanted to see one of my projects mentioned on [...] Governments at the state and federal level make huge sums by taxing addictions.

What did these teachers [...]
California drew national attention to the risk that states would go broke when it had to' [...]
Well, don’t say we didn’t warn you. Governor Kulongoski sold us a bill of goods. As anybody who hasn't been living under a rock for the past 40 years know, abortion is one of the most sacred cows of the liberal left and the Oregonian (but I repeat myself). Any restrictions on abortions cause murderous screams of anger from the left, because they can't stand [...]
