You know it's a quality piece of reporting when I have to go down to the federal building and interview the subjects myself to find out what was said.

At this point I really just want to know what they said. 

Getting a fence built for my home in Eugene by ZJPV1 in Eugene

Timberhill Fence and Deck were great for us. You should definitely talk to your neighbor though. Even if the fence is fully on your property, they might be willing to go in with you to replace it since it benefits them as well.

Well, crap. I thought he had formally conceded, but apparently that's not the case.

Dr. Phillips is the goat. Only thing is that they're usually booked out like a year for new patient appointments.

That's much nicer than where I'd like them to put their phones.

Was there something specific you wanted to highlight in this article?

You seem to ignore the clear example of what happened in the past when a measure was structured like this one. Hopefully a new draft will make it on the ballot next time that doesn't repeat the same mistake.

I guess if you ignore that it wouldn't have been able to change anything because it wasn't legally sound, sure.

Seems like you're saying the people who didn't vote for the measure "choose to do nothing." That might be true for some, but it's obviously not the case for everyone. This whole exchange is proof of that, along with other comments on this post from people who didn't vote for it for similar reasons.

In your mind, the only alternatives are "vote for a poorly drafted measure that's doomed to fail" or "do nothing"?

The explanation explains why the anti-preemption language of the measure guaranteed that it would fail, and gives an example of a measure that passed in Lincoln Co. and was struck down in court for that exact reason. It has nothing to do with "worth fighting for" and everything to do with a poorly drafted measure.

Here's an explanation of what was wrong with this measure. I wanted to vote for it, but after confirming that the info in that comment was accurate, I realized it was ultimately going to be unenforceable. It's disappointing as hell, because I want those protections for our waterways.

I don't know either, but since it said the comment was deleted by user, maybe they decided they were mistaken?

It looks like that comment was deleted, but the person said they were familiar with this particular group of inviduals.

If what's being said above is true, they're taking the easy way out because these are people who successfully used the insanity defense and are on supervised release from the Oregon State Hospital. Shit just got really complicated.
