Our local hospitals have been overwhelmed with requests for sick notes to utilize sick time and it is getting in the way of their ability to treat patients. My office has advised employers that a pandemic and public health emergency declaration should suffice as reason enough.

Let's be perfectly clear what happened in MS: Koch Foods proactively decided to break the law in order to make more money and hired undocumented immigrants. When workers fought for back wages, Koch Foods called ICE leaving their workers' children without parents.

If you take out a loan you pay it back. I agree. Which is why we need to lift the debt ceiling and prevent a devastating default. Without games and without conditions.
If you are able-bodied, you work.
If you take out a loan, you pay it back.
If you commit a violent crime, you go to jail.
We HAVE to start teaching the necessity of individual responsibility.

Neil Goldschmidt as an adult with power, groomed and repeatedly raped Elizabeth Dunham from the time she was 13 years old. He ruined her life. He never had to pay for the crime the way she did. That is his legacy and anything else he accomplished does not negate his crime.
In the 1970s, Neil Goldschmidt launched a political career that made him a national celebrity and put Portland on the map. He also began sexually assaulting a teenager who suffered for the rest of her short life.

@BentonDemocrats
