Short Read of the Week for April 14, 2022

In this morning’s meeting, we considered six articles, and from them we chose one that we hope you will read if you don’t read anything else this week:

Oregon’s senators score federal funding for more home-state projects than all but one other senator

Tillamook County scored big in this funding windfall: https://www.co.tillamook.or.us/sites/default/files/fileattachments/board_of_county_commissioners/page/57485/arpa_funding_press_release_2021-10-29.pdf, proving once again the Democrats work for their communities.

We also chose to recommend this:

How to Disarm the Crazies

This will soon be a live issue for us, given the news that NAVs in Oregon now outnumber members of all parties combined. Given that partisan primaries appear to be unsustainable, could we live with this as a replacement?
