Yah....another Top 10 for Oregon. Next year we'll rank even higher.

Keller is plainly a hack. You can always tell. It is called the "Democratic Party", Mr. Keller.

You can thank props 66 and 67 for this, not just the economy. Oregon Government has a broke mentality thanks to the many economically ignorant liberals in the state. Taxes will only get worse in the next two years because PERS (overpaid Oregon Government workers) is short about 1.5 Billion Dollars in its fund and guess who gets to make up for that? Not them. You'll see more commercial bankruptcies and more businesses either just closing their doors or moving out. If you don't have a job and need one you just might need to look outside of Oregon because it isn't going to improve any time soon.
