Heroes living among us

Several events took place last week that brought to mind the fact that we have heroes living among us — men and women who have served, or who are currently serving in the U.S. military.

  • A way to give back to arts and culture

    Do you value public radio, music, libraries, museums and monuments? If so, please take advantage of Oregon’s most generous offer to support them. Every Oregonian has the right to direct a portion of their state taxes to fund arts and culture, but only a small percentage act on it.

  • Warming shelters in Lincoln County

    Our community enjoys great wealth, and yet many people struggle and suffer. Our community must have a warming shelter so that we can save lives. We have many people who have medical needs, housing needs and employment needs, and we still have no warming shelter in south Lincoln County.

  • Doesn’t this bother anyone but me?

    I’m so disappointed in all the people who badmouth the president of the United States. Think about this: why did Trump run for president? He doesn’t take a salary, but he does take a lot of disrespect and badmouthing. And for what?

  • Oregon legislative update

    Mid-November saw a flurry of activity in the Capitol as we convened for Legislative Days. In addition to attending hearings on a variety of subjects, meeting with advocates and reviewing the new revenue forecast, legislators submitted their bill proposals in preparation for the month-long “short” legislative session in February.
