This is just fabulous. Please take the time to watch this 26 minute address by New Jersey's new governor to the New Jersey League of Municipalities.
When I listen to something like this - an all-too-rare display of straight talk, mastery of fact, and laid-bare reality, I just get angry. Angry that we NEVER see this in our political class in Oregon.
Why do we get buffoons governing us, and other states get guys like Christie?
Where is the adult in OUR room?

WOW!
Can we borrow that man...
...pemanently?
Unless & until the likes of the Courtneys, Hunts, and all of the squisheys in between are run out we have NO chance!
Guys like you, RK, speak for more people than the D's think, only many of them are scared of their own shadows, lazy, or outright ignorant.
Which is to say that if a Chris Christie type would stand up in Oregon and say it like it is and MEAN IT, Katie Bar the Door.
Unfortunately the current crop of Republican candidates are either Pansies or unelectable.
Thanks for the link, Rob. I posted it on BlueOregon yesterday with credit to you. The only response there so far is thankfulness that Oregon isn't New Jersey. Hopefully, the "adults" here will notice what's going on there and move in that directly.
Great blog. I've grown accustomed to reading your work in Brainstorm magazine. Is there an archive of it anywhere? Thanks
Hey Rob,
I need to email you on an urgent topic. The Teachers Union, working through the ODE have choked-off all cash-flow to my charter school. Using unproven accusations as an excuse, the ODE has halted all funding to Edchoices Allprep online charter schools based on a Sisters Oregon School District meeting.
Please call me at 503-713-8981
and Email me at Bowmanjedi@yahoo.com
Yours,
