Take the stance on putting windmills all across the Steens Mtn. What a stupid position. But at least the editorial staff of the Bulletin is consistant--stupid but consistant. I'm so glad to be far away from the idiotic neocons of Central Oregon. It's sad because Bend is a beautiful place. But I don't miss the majority political persuasion of the place. Good riddance and good luck.

At a time of double-digit unemployment and tax revenues doing a cliff dive, the legislature has continued to tighten the noose that strangles job creation. <br /><br />Just think what will happen if Kitzhaber gets another turn as governor. We might make a real run at Michigan, even with the flood of auto industry layoffs they're about to suffer.rural residentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-70272520154200143912009-06-01T22:26:13.103-07:002009-06-01T22:26:13.103-07:00I've been a fan of the Bend Bulletin since I ran f...I've been a fan of the Bend Bulletin since I ran for State Sup't. <br /><br />I went in for my interview with their editorial panel. It was about an hour. They were really tough on me. Matt Wingard was with me (he was my campaign manager.) <br /><br />We left, both of us kind of chuckling about how much it seemed the two guys hated me. <br /><br />A week or so later, they wrote the editorial. It was a very positive endorsement, the nicest one written by any Oregon newspaper. <br /><br />I was stunned. They raked me over the coals. I never dreamed they were doing anything other than what all the other papers did, but I figured it out. They asked tough questions, put heat on me, and didn't reveal at all that they actually liked my answers.<br /><br />Kinda like journalists might treat you. Only time I saw it on the campaign trail, really.Rob Kremerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842508120324878364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-81920343647413612792009-06-01T18:38:13.264-07:002009-06-01T18:38:13.264-07:00Someone with access to ink, and a brain.
