And so Oregon has a new governor. I don't expect much to change.
The futures of Kitz and his girlfriend will be interesting to watch unfold, if nothing else. Could get jail time, but likely won't.
High school graduations will remain at the bottom of the scale, poverty will grow worse, corporate giveaways will be unfazed--hello tax abatements!
The wingnuts are saying we should have voted the Republican into office, even though Dennis Richardson is a bible-thumping hack--Oregon's equivalent of Huckabee, with a similar worldview.
I don't like any of them of course, Dems or Repubs. The Dems for their neoliberal bullshit, the Repubs for their insane social agenda and peddling of religious dogma.
It is a real mess over here, however I'm glad Kate Brown is in office now rather than Richardson. It's a matter of degrees of ineptitude. I'm happy Kitz quit, and wish he'd had more sense about the company he keeps.
That's love and politics in the Upper Left Coast of the good ol' USA.
