  • Guest Column: States need to reassert their rights before it’s too late

    Government | 1 week 4 days ago | 6 | 0

    As the governor of New Mexico, I spent eight years dealing with issues unique and specific to our state – addressing immigration, education, the privatization of our prison system, ways to streamline state agencies, and keeping our spending under control.

  • DeFazio opponent: Government ‘enslaving’ people

    Government | 2 weeks 4 days ago | 12 | 1

    Art Robinson had lots to say on a variety of issues Wednesday in his first visit to Sweet Home as Republican candidate for Oregon’s 4th District congressional seat, but a central theme underlined most of his points: Get the government off the backs of the American people and industry.

  • Guest Column: Corporate income taxes make all of us pay

    Government | 2 weeks 4 days ago | 10 | 0

    It is hard to find anything positive to say about the corporate income (i.e., profits) tax. Economists across the ideological spectrum agree that the corporate profits tax is woefully inefficient:

  • Guest Column: Time for something completely different

    Government | 3 weeks 5 days ago | 13 | 0

    If there’s a characteristic American trait, it’s moving ahead. Our great 19th-century chronicler, Alexis de Tocqueville, noted how Americans would leave their new homes – onto the next thing! – even before they had a chance to finish the roofs.

  • Candidates to campaign in area this week

    Government | 3 weeks 5 days ago | 5 | 0

    The candidates for the 4th District seat in the U.S. Congress will meet with local voters this week, but they won’t do it together. Republican Art Robinson will hold a public meeting in Sweet Home at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 4, at the Jim Riggs Community Center, 880 18th Ave.

  • Editorial: Want the job? Show up for the interview

    Government | 4 weeks 4 days ago | 10 | 0

    I’ve always believed that cynicism is not a quality that contributes much to our political system because, in theory at least, change is always possible in a democratic republic.

  • City eyes water, sewer bill changes

    Government | 7 weeks 6 days ago | 3 | 0

    Some users will see a decrease in monthly bills, while others will see increases under a new proposal for changes to city sewer and water rates.

  • Editorial: Support proposed measure now

    Government | 8 weeks 3 days ago | 1 | 0

    If you aren’t happy with the way the urban (Democratic) population dominates the Oregon political landscape, today’s your chance to help make a change.

  • If we’d known then what we know now...

    Government | 9 weeks 5 days ago | 0 | 0

    They say hindsight’s 20-20, but when it comes to elections (and plenty of other things), I often wish foresight were too.

  • Proposed amendment could rural communities voice

    Government | 15 weeks 5 days ago | 2 | 0

    It is obvious from the voting results of Measures 66 and 67 (and of several other recent ballot measures) that constituents in most rural counties have different ideas about taxation and the role of government than do residents of counties with a larger urban population.
