You morons have no idea what you’re taking about, and it’s typically so generic that you can’t understand a word of it.
“Renewable energy authorization, habitat restoration, construction and deferred maintenance, administrative support, abandoned mines, capital improvements, roads and bridges maintenance and construction, trails maintenance and construction.”
There is no energy shortage in the northwest, habitat is stable, construction and “deferred” maintenance are down because nobody knows what that means,…
Look, if you want to work for the city/couty/state/federal government, go to Sweden, or perhaps Spain where the unemployment rate is 17% nationwide.
Oregon is as large as France with far more resources. If you and Ted want to run it that way, fine. As a member of a pioneer family, I can tell you that you’ve run this state into the ground. Oregon is nothing more than a broke, red-headed step-child of California and Washington.
It is a spectacular, Pacific Rim state. Yet our punk representatives can’t even negotiate with China.
You don’t even know the real owner of the building with that houses the apartment you’re living in, do you?
Well, I’m going to raise your rates and force you out into the streets where you might learn something about being homeless and forge a new land of harmony under the Burnside Bridge.
Just show up with a trench coat wielding a bottle of wine (sacrament) in a paper bag to prove your allegiance.

Glad to hear these counties are getting the money. I do hope that it is spent wisely.
