Along with hundreds of thousands of other Oregonians, I opened my mailbox the other day and found a letter from Carol Marie Leuthold. Do I know of the tax measures that will be on our ballots next month, she asks? Why, sure I do. But what I didn't know was - they'll kill my job! Oh, that's right. I don't have one at the moment. But still, this sounds really scary! Let's see, who is this person anyways? Maybe I owe her a debt of gratitude!
I went on to look up who she is, since she's apparently so sincerely concerned about my neighbors and I. Maybe she can be my friend, and we can meet up for a drink here in my SE Portland 'hood, probably at Hopworks down the street from my apartment one of these days! But hey, wait...
Something seemed off, just a little bit at first. The first thing about the letter I noticed was the return address. I says to myself, I says - "Self? Small Tillamook dairy farmers don't graze cows in industrial sections of the City of Salem. Let's see what this person is really about"...
