In addition to 55% of his free throws, Chris Dudley has missed voting in seven of the last 13 elections since 2004. That means he succeeded in getting to the voting booth to cast a ballot 46% of the time, which matches up nicely with his career FT% of .458. So really all you need to know about The Dud's qualifications to run the 13th largest state in the US is that more often than not he can't make a free throw.
Funny that you should say that. My girlfriend came to this country from Canada legally. Took her several years to get her green card, but she is an example of how to do it the right way.
My father came to this country legally, joined the military and became a citizen after serving in Vietnam. I would say that is the right way to do it.
Actually, that quite obviously untrue. Would Qyntel Woods be an improvement over Kitzhaber? Would I be? What is it that you think was so horrible about Kitzhaber's performance? barfo
Qyntel would be an improvement. Not sure about you. Tax Tax Tax. Spend Spend Spend. That's Kitzhaber's motto. He did absolutely nothing to encourage economic growth in Oregon.
The other problem I had with Kitzy (I voted for him twice) was that he had a record number of vetoes. Now, one can say he had a GOP state congress to deal with, and that is true. However, for someone who when in the GOP controlled state legislature, built a tremendous reputation for bringing people together as a consensus builder, he made no attempts whatsoever as governor to do so. He took his marching orders from the SIU and vetoed, vetoed, vetoed. His leadership abilities were non existent.
CANSIM educational testing - Kitzhaber introduced this to Oregon and it cost 10's of millions of dollars. After he left office it was basically abandoned. Big Fail. Oregon Health Plan - Kitzhaber himself admits this was a failure.
I believe Oregon Law requires you to vacate the residence... which is doesn'tsound to me like he did. Is Forest Heights in Multnomah County? Was he trying to get away from the 1% income tax they had going there?
What I was trying to say was that he had a well deserved reputation, when in the state legislature, as a person who brought both sides together and forged agreements and compromises. When he became governor he stopped doing this and rather than seeking an acceptable compromise, simply vetoed bill after bill. I was very disappointed.
You seem confused about the role of governor. When the legislature passes a bill, the governor has the choice of signing it or vetoing it. "Seeking an acceptable compromise" isn't one of the options at that point. barfo
