• All of Oregon's Congressmen Seek to Maintain Portland's Transpacific Air Service.  Write joint letter to both airlines requesting that the post=merger entity continue to offer transpacific air service from PDX. (Oregonian)
• Two Top Campaign Contributors Turn On Merkley, Calling Him a "Hypocrite" On Middle East Policy.   (Willamette Week) [Pseudo-left liberals don't know enough to cut Merkley some slack in order for him to have a chance to beat Smith. They haven't caught on to what it will take to beat Smith. If the Dem candidate sounds as far left as they are then they won't have a prayer of taking away angry conservative votes from Smith who has done overkill in trying to appear "reasonable" politically. Merkley is apparently smart enough to know he'd better come nearer to the center in order to win in the fall. But, the radicals don't really care about a victory. They just want to go for the whacko-left gold, no matter what. Thus they are guaranteed to lose no matter how much money their candidate may get. ]
• USA Today Write-up On OR Cop Being Issued a Parking Ticket.   Refers to attn'y as merely a private citizen. Bryant, a newly minted lawyer, used a section of state law that allows private citizens to issue citations. He filed a complaint that accuses Stensgaard of illegal parking, illegal stopping, ignoring parking restrictions and illegal operation of an emergency vehicle..."I think asking an officer to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to find a 'legal' parking space that may be a long ways away from where they're going is unreasonable," Assistant Chief Brian Martinek tells KGW-TV.
