    Years ago I was checking in at the Billings Sheraton and all of a sudden I felt a dog sniffing my legs and foot, turn out Clinton was staying there and the SS was literally sniffing the place before he got there.

    Nike co-founder and Oregon's richest man Phil Knight says he will do whatever it takes to end Democrats' 40-year hold on the state as he throws his $35.9b fortune behind Republican Christine Drazan
    • Phil Knight said he would do anything to defeat Democrat Tina Kotek
    • The Nike co-founder is Oregon's richest man and has spent millions on the race
    • His money has boosted an independent and helped a Republican take the lead
    • If Christine Drazan wins she would be first Republican to be elected governor of the deep blue state since 1982 - the year Diet Coke was launched
    • Knight expressed frustration with the state's liberal drug laws in an interview
    • They are blamed for spiraling crime in Portland, the state's biggest city

    Something seriously wrong with that survey.
    Women's rights are the 16th most important "problem"?
    I smell a rat.

    The survey pertains to what people feel are the priority problems facing the State now. I dont have a problem with the top 5 being on a person's wish list? do you?

    Yeah, they all just said basically "the people in charge now suck. I don't suck. Vote for me."

    But I guess it worked for Obama and Trump, so why not?

    Im not voting for this person, but she made a comment I agree 100% with, regarding the homelessness issue.
    “Frankly, if people decline services, if they are choosing a homeless lifestyle because they’re facing substance use disorder or in fact it’s a choice they’re making, it’s time for our state to recognize there must be accountability.”

    Homelessness is a national issue. If it isn't dealt with there it will never get dealt with. Also notice how this problem ia throughout our country and most certainly not just here.

    I Don't agree with spending 5-6x as much on people just to prevent them from damaging their own body.

    Just get them in housing and offer them the necessary rehab and recovery services. The consequences are living a shit life as though you're in prison because you can't afford anything else.

    Arrest those who resort to crime and help those who want the help.

    This works and is the most effective and efficient way to solve this problem. You have to streamline it like this or it will turn into corrupted bureaucracy.

    dont disagree. However there is a segment that dont want help period, some with mental issues and some with, leave me alone its my life and i'll live it how and where I want.
    I agree in doing whatever helps those who want help, but those that defiantly refuse and dont care need to be accountable / penalized. We used to have vagrant laws.
