It's interesting that you think that I'm a teabagger, or all the people are. I'm a realistic person who looks at the problem for what it is, a lack of jobs. Sure you might have a job, but you know there are a ton of people out there who don't. It's not because of the 1%, or what ever craziness you want to spew it's simply because this county was a logging county, this state was a logging state. Who is the largest employer in Oregon? Who is the largest employer in the County? Who's the largest employer in the City? Give up? Oregon is the largest employer in the state, Lane County, is the largest employer in the County and Eugene is the largest employer in the City. When the government is the largest employer that's a clear indication there there are NO JOBS in this state. Why? Is it because of the 1%?

I hate to say this but the problem doesn't lie with the so called 1%, the problem lies with the 99% who keep voting in the same people and expecting to have a miracle happen and it will fix the problem of not having any jobs.

Look at Greece as an example, Greece gives (gave) everything to everyone and when elections came around there were two candidates one said, if we keep going the way we're going it's going to ruin us, the other candidate said hey man it's cool you want more free money? Whom do you think won the elections? the 99% percent as you keep saying need a voice, ARE THE VOICE you want change, STOP VOTING for politicians who think that GOVERNMENT are the ANSWER to your life, your problems, your situation. For someone who goes by the name of "NoGod and NO Government" you strike me as odd that you're saying Defazio is a good politician. There are NO good politicians. So thumb me down, but I live in the real world. You don't, you still think that 1% of the people are the reason for your problem, look in the mirror. That's your problem.

OR just let us cut some timber, which can be done in a responsible manner, and the problem will rectify itself. When people work they have money, when they have money they buy things, when they buy things businesses hire more staff it's a vicious cycle pretty soon, the county has money again. Weird how one little thing could turn around the whole situation here.

That's the problem with environmentalists, they don't think about the consequences of their actions. Remember it was the environmentalists in the 80's that said that PAPER bags were bad and advocated the use of plastic bags....now plastic bags are bad...

I hope criminal neglect charges are filed against management. It all starts with policy and training. How does a "unauthorized" person sit down and use a computer and no one asks? How is it the workstation wasn't locked? How was it that the system would be so easy to find the information?

heads should roll.

Hmm waste of resources, County is floundering with absolutely no money, huge deficits cuttings staff all this non-essential crap is a waste of very very limited resources. most of these people who would ever use this app live in a CITY where these needs should really be handled.

She was terrible! Good bye, good riddance. Glad she's gone. She was responsible for a lot of the ESL mess we're in now.

It is because this helps the same crowd get elected. Why vote out the people who give you all the things you need for free?!?!? The other guy wants you to work! Which is why i always think that if your pockets are being filled by the government you cant vote, you have a vested interest in keeping the money coming in.

Look at greece as an example, thats america if Obama wins

Wake up america!
