because even rural you have limited growth that can be developed. Land that has been zoned EFU, exclusive farmland use, is $5000 an acre, and reflects true market price.
it's just like gas. limit supply it doesn't matter where it sells in the state the price is skyrocketing.

The real question to ask when it comes to this, is the cost of medical school and the cost of malpractice insurance. You have to remember that US citizens are very litigious. While researching Neurosurgeons 1/4 patients end up suing for malpractice. This is a very real cost when trying to determine wages for physicians.

the allegations are from the guy's wife regarding the tire...it was a "there may have been...." kind of statement from the cops. the police, nor the witness, said they saw a tire. small points but huge in court. i'm sure the wife wants to believe the best case scenario - who wouldn't? BTW I have had a big rig tire blow about 100 feet in front of me in the next lane once. one of the scariest things i ever experienced and it was sheer grace of god it didn't hit my car. and I instinctively swerved - not in a controlled way.
regardless of why the guy swerved, it's a tragedy. this poor lady has lost her husband and, of course, it is in this time you want your spouse to be there for you in support. insult to injury. I hope she finds peace.

I have nothing against folks making money. I do think they should pay taxes, since they live in a country, not a kingdom.
Our disagreements stem from a profound difference of values and consequently, what we think a collection of citizens is all about; indeed, what life is all about.
If it is just to see who can accumulate the most money, or for each person to maximize their self worth in money--- it's a pretty empty place, morally, emotionally, and philosophically.
Men (or women) that do all they can to pay little taxes and then make a PUBLIC spectacle of "doing good" are contemptuous. In the end, it's all about them, their largesse. I believe somewhere in the bible it admonishes givers not to let the left hand know what the right is doing. That's quite a contrast from having it splashed all across the country in every available media.
But we disagree, profoundly, MC. Recent studies show we indeed may trace our differences to genetic predispositions.

Motley, if a DA believes a rape has been committed, I believe that DA will be absolutely certain that the rape kit is processed. I believe the untested rape kits come from situations where the identities are not really in question and the facts surrounding the incident do not support a rape charge. As you know sexual intercourse is not illegal. A rape kit tells whether sexual intercourse has occurred and via DNA the male involved. But if a DA determines that circumstances do not support rape but rather consensual sex, the rape kit provides no useful information. Of course, every rape kit where the male is unknown should be processed. I doubt that the unprocessed kits fall into that category. Too bad some investigative reporting has not occurred.

Sorry Charlie, you assert that some older drivers are impaired. This may be true. It is not true that all older drivers are impaired. Generalization to all older drivers does not follow from science - in fact the opposite is true. Science says that some older drivers are impaired but not all or even most. To generalize to all from some is anti-science. If you care about driver impairment lobby for driver testing, all drivers, every 5 years. Don't be anti-science and say that older drivers should be taken off the road.

Having followed every game this season I feel obligated to thank Coach Altman, his staff, and the team. Catching the games is something I look forward to week after week.
Just one thought on Dillon's forehead gash: In some early role of Western-actor, Sam Elliot, Sam was asked who gave him the black eye. Sam responded: "No one gave it to me - I earned it..." I hope Dillion gives the same answer if some one asks him who gave him that gash on his forehead!
Dillon might not have scored a lot of points against USC, but for the season, he's been the Duck's leading scorer, and perhaps the season's top leader in helping the Ducks earn the conference title. I sure hope he feels good about his part in helping the Ducks be the Pac-12 Conference Champions.
You know what to do in the games ahead Ducks. That's why you're the Champs.
Thanks again for all the hard work you put in to win the Pac-12 Conference title.
Go Ducks!

"genetic predispositons"? Is that the new university speak for racism? What genetic markers have you found in my DNA here on line which account for 'differences'? Are you also a fan of Eugenics? That was Oregon's 'scientific' contribution to improving the gene pool for over 70 years of the last century. As an agnostic, I find your reliance on any biblical reference or any other woo-woo belief is unpersuasive. But if relying on it makes you feel more important and believable, please do so. I give your biblical admonition the same respect as Russell's Flying Teapot or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but, again, if it comforts you...

"do think they should pay taxes". Do you own your own home? Do you take advantage of the tax loophole that lets you deduct the interest you pay on your loan? Do you also take advantage of the tax loophole that lets you deduct the property taxes you pay on your home? How about your parents; are they tax dodgers who take advantage of those loopholes. If they are over 65, do they take advantage of the larger deduction because of their age? Did they take advantage of the tax loophole that reduced their taxes because they had children?
Are you or your parents "morally, emotionally, and philosophically" lesser beings for not paying more?

If you haven't kept up with recent genetic research, I can't help you. It appears, indeed, that empathy/sympathy may have a genetic component, as does alcoholism, blue-eyes, or intelligence.
I don't know as one can blame Eugenics on Oregon--- I hope you can provide some sort of connection? Eugene=Eugene-ics?
I myself am atheist (an agnostic is a pathetic creature, is he not--- one who cannot simply demand proof and make a decision based on that elementary question) but find both the Old and New Testaments have some very profound things to say. That is one of them that I agree with. If one wishes to be charitable, it seems to me that one should do so in private.
To depend on the largesse of the 1% to solve societies' greatest problems is to place oneself into a debt to individuals to which I am unwilling to do so.
It is the responsibility of governments to fund scientific research, properly fund higher education, etc.
Europe has done quite well with that system, as has Scandinavia.

I happily will pay them WHEN the services are to be so funded.
I do not enjoy paying taxes, mind you, but I dislike far more living in a cruel, uncaring, and unfair society.
If you do not feel it is, please explain why people as diverse as African-Americans and Native-Americans have such poor societal indices, from drug addiction to incarceration to suicide to murder.
If it isn't a societal impact, would you argue it's genetic inferiority?
I certainly hope you wouldn't.

Eugenics' Oregon connection you inquired about. Margaret Sanger's legacy.
In 1917 the Oregon State Legislature, passed a bill titled, "To Prevent Procreation of Certain Classes in Oregon." Oregon State Board of Eugenics, presided over the forced sterilization of more than 2,600 Oregon residents from 1917 to 1981. For more than seventy years, the State Board was involved in the US eugenics movement, using theories partly constructed from genetics to control the reproductive health of citizens. During the 1970s, many male and female teenagers at homes for wayward teens, (Fairview Hospital and Training Center) were injected with sedatives and sterilized against their will. -Nancy Rae Cook v. State of Oregon (1972), 17-year-old Nancy Rae Cook appealed the Board of Social Protection's ruling that she be sterilized due to mental illness resulting from childhood physical and sexual abuse - See more at: http://embryo.asu.edu/pages/oregon-state-board-eugenics#sthash.955F7Qmg.dpuf

If tompaine is willing to reduce his current salary in exact proportion to that he wants the physicians to reduce theirs, then we know he is not just playing Marx and Lenin games.

While we know that Wal-Mart, Target, Albertson's, Costco, Home Depot, Jerrry's, the Kendall auto dealerships will just add the 2.5% cost to their groceries, prescriptions, toilet paper, home goods and automobiles, that same 2.5% increase added to surgery at River Bend is really, really, going to hurt.

Multnomah – “No, what you’re saying is just wrong from a factual and health base of information available.”
ME — Please explain what is wrong with what I posted. Be specific:
1. is the "regulation limit" for these particular metals something different than the exposure thought to cause one excess case of cancer for a lifetime of exposure?
2. Is it thought to be linear - 110 times the "regulation limit" gives 110 times the risk?
3. Is the 22.8% wrong?
4. Is 22.8% NOT 228,000 per million?
5 Is my conclusion that the increased cancer risk is from 220,000 to 220,110?
6. Is that NOT a 0.05% increase?

Reading between the lines, I wonder if something is going on with Mr Schmitt. My workplace doesn't have ANY problem hanging on to its good people, and we only make around $11.00 per hour with no benefits. It sounds like he treats his people well, but maybe there's a problem with the work environment. My workplace doesn't pay well, but they are kind and appreciative, and we stay.
Decent jobs aren't that easy to come by in Eugene. If anyone knows what his business is, let me know. Maybe I'll apply!

Just my opinion, but I also think that raising the wage works against developing a work ethic in the young because very few employers want to pay those wages to teens who are generally eager for a 'first job'. They want older employees that they feel will be more reliable or who won't have school schedules to work around. I know that all of my kids were excited to work and earn their own money when they turned 16, only to find out that at not all, but most places, they couldn't "flip burgers" until they were 18. They were discouraged from working because they were not old enough. SO it falls to mom and dad to cover their costs, and not give them the opportunity to learn about being responsible with work and finances before they fly the coop. I see this as a great disadvantage.

Most of this is irrelevant to the minimum wage issue. He pays above minimum wage so it won't affect his business. Nor will it affect most businesses since a small percentage of workers make minimum wage. The fact is, people need to make around $15 per hour in Oregon just to survive, and that's if they get 40 hours a week, which many do not.
From an employee's point of view, the only one that matters to people who don't own a business, a job that pays less than what we need to survive is worthless.
"In a very basic sense, how can an employer not raise prices to compensate? " Um, if customers are not willing to pay higher prices? But most will, and some of the businesses that pay low wages, like restaurants, are selling middle-class luxuries that a lot of us can do without.
I don't know why he's having trouble finding good employees. Maybe because Oregonians aren't willing to pay for a decent educational system? In any case, it's a separate issue from the minimum wage.

This comment is utter nonsense. The business pays a wage above the minimum already and has a hard time attracting quality applicants. If the minimum goes up, the employer will have to offer an even higher wage to attract the same low quality of applicants. Markets determine the relative value of wages in relation to every other good and service offered for sale. To pretend otherwise is to don a tinfoil hat and pretend that the laws of supply and demand do not exist. I suspect that you, sir, subscribe to some rather crackpot economic theories, such as Marx's labor theory of value. You seem to understand very little of how the world actually works.

Finally, some sane commentary on the wage floor. It would be great if we could just mandate that everyone gets a "fair" wage, but the real world is far more complicated than some would like to believe. To assign a "fair" wage, one has to assume that all other inputs are equal. Some jobs produce more, some skills are in more or less demand. Markets, supply and demand, determine the relative value of wages and what employers must offer in order to attract the employees they need.
This new law will have unintended consequences, as all other feelgood interventions do. I feel badly for the small to medium-sized business owners who will be forced to either adapt to this new regulation or perish. The disemployment effect will be felt very harshly during the next economic downturn, you can bet your copy of "Das Kapital" on that.

I find it interesting that Mr. Schmitt felt he needed to open with a "not a Republican" disclaimer. That's part of the problem. One party has ruled this state for decades and it's not the Republicans. Being afraid to be thought of as a Republican has allowed the growth of bloated, unaccountable government that is so arrogant, it thinks it can repeal common sense and the laws of economics and legislate prosperity. Nothing will change if people with common sense like Mr. Schmitt, continue to send the same people to Salem.

Now you are being totally disingenuous Outsider77, and putting words into my mouth that I've never even said here. I really resent your dishonestly here in this discussion by making such a Straw Man argument. That is being quite underhanded.
I'm not saying that all older drivers should be taken off the road. I never said anything that remotely stated or implied that. I am just agreeing with Be.Carfree that being 66 is a strike against you. It is a disadvantage. Your reflexes and vision are not going to be equal to that of a younger person. And many people in their 60's do indeed have significant health issues. Not everyone, naturally, but a significant number do. So your risks are greater.
The factors of driving on a pitch dark country road in winter that had no lights in the area, and having so much alcohol in your blood were more important factors. But being older is a disadvantage too. It puts you at far greater risk of having medical issues that could also play a factor.

No, that is not at all what this news article says. It states that the wife claims that "police concluded that the big rig’s operators were at fault for the wreck. "
Now either that is a true, or a false statement. If the police really did indeed conclude in their investigation that the big rig caused the accident, one would then expect that they would have had to have found some evidence to support such a conclusion.

The politicians don't care. Passing the law for votes is the point.
The most recent affirmation of that was Sen Prozanski's 'gun control' legislation requiring person to person background checks. Virtually every police agency and DA in the State pointed out that they did not have the personnel or financial resources to enforce this law. Several sheriffs and police chiefs had press conferences where they said they would not enforce the law.
Prozanski and the legislature put the Emergency Clause on it so the voters couldn't have an initiative against it.

Ecological science at the predator/prey level has yet to convince me of the necessity of reintroduction of a predator when so much of its former range is now and will continue to have humans, their children and their pets competing for the same land. Is it science or is it Bambi love?

Have you watched the video? I don't think removing wolves or allowing them to be killed because of hunters or ranchers (plundering the land) is in the best interest of the ecological system as a whole.

Wow. I am in a very similar situation to you - perfect match on the first three paragraphs - yet I have never experienced any of the issues you mention, period. And I fail to see any connection at all between the problems you are having and the wages you are paying, or the minimum wage.
There are certainly losers out there, and it can be hard to find quality employees, but again, what does any of this have to do with the minimum wage? Better approach: hire only great employees, pay them a lot more than minimum wage, and expect a lot out of them.

This I can work with. Having done some more research I concur that Callahan could not be legally held accountable for falsification. And if I got it right, the suit was dropped.
That being said, I am wondering if you might be Mark himself?

"Skov has served on other city committees and the budget panel." While there is something to be said for having experience within the government group you are seeking an elected decision-maker seat on, it also is a way for political inbreeding. As Piercy says, "he has the experience we can put to good use." Already well trained and vetted to fit the current council's mindset. With three positions uncontested I'm sure the council majority is most comfortable keeping the contested position in the "family".

Esener gets to work with researchers on the leading edge of their field; President Schill, not so much. He has to find some researchers willing to improve a run-down-at-the-heels and may-soon-lose-AAU-membership research facility. One already has a silk purse, one is working with a sow's ear. Much harder job.

Well earned and deserved. Coach Altman has been able to excel in this era where you don't often have the same players for more than one or two seasons and where you have to recruit for players from other countries and students transferring from other programs. This is yet another team that showed steady improvement. Aside from the "stars" I am impressed with players like Benson who made big contributions well beyond any expectations when the came to UO. For those of us who fondly remember the Kamikaze Kids and other successful teams over the last five decades, Altman is building the most sustained success of any Ducks era I can remember. I hope younger fans will accept this from those of us who are more age advantaged - you are lucky to see a team that is consistently competitive and making the NCAA tourney year after year.

If nano guy works hard and does something good like cure cancer, maybe he'll get a raise and get paid more than the Ducks special teams coach.

Since Phil Knight came up with the initial $500 million for the research facility , you might be right.

"..unemployment is at historically low levels. EMPLOYMENT, the number of Americans actually working, has, under Obama, steadily climbing." -tompaine II
This is absolutely false. You are confusing the unemployment rate, which is indeed low, with the labor force participation rate, which also quite low. The labor force participation rate is the amount of people who are working or otherwise actively participating in the labor market as a percentage of all working-age adults. It is around 62% now, lower than it has been since Jimmy Carter.

No. Personally I really don't care for Callahan. But that being said what Wig and others engaged in was retributive in it’s intent toward Callahan, more importantly a citizen none the less. Which is why I brought it up in the first place to point out Wig and his type have no business in government at any level. Those kinds of individuals don't deserve the public trust.

The die is not yet cast for Trump who has won a plurality but only a minority of the delegates. It either Kasich or Rubio win their home states (polls show them closing in on Trump), it will be very difficult for Trump to win enough delegates. If both win their home states, it will be impossible.

So, what you're saying, then, is business as usual at the city of Portland.
I know a land owner who has wanted to fix a dilapidated building for years and years. However, a sign company has a long-term lease on the side of the building where they have a billboard. If the building owner fixes up the building as is, the city arborist will require them to put trees in front of the billboard, violating the lease. And if they tear down the building and put something in its place, the city won't let them replace the billboards.
So what happens? The building sits there for decades looking like shit. Thanks, city that works (at not working).

I already answered them and they have nothing to do with Trump. Pay attention and quit shifting subjects. I've read what Trump has said and sir, if you don't think Trump is is a misogynist, a liar, xenophobic, and a hateful racist, then you have a serious problem. "If you really look at his comments...", "Women are dogs", "just look at that face", "Mexicans are rapists", etc. Now answer my question - why do you support this behavior?

Quoting the article, "The tenor of the Republican campaign has been completely different from what we've seen in prior Republican presidential campaigns," Galvin said. "You have to look no farther than the viewership for some of the televised debates." Ain't that the truth.

Voting for Hillary effectively will bring in a third term for Bill, an absolutely destructive person when it came to the interests of the very poor. But I don't see why a Republican woman wouldn't vote for her, maybe singing softly "I am woman hear me roar" as that voter is alone in the booth.
Hillary is like Bill, a moderate Republican, who found running way to the left in the primary to be effective. Bill, in office, then showed his true colors, with devastating laws exporting jobs (NAFTA) and eliminating welfare for those who got abandoned by business.
Trump isn't some Svengali, mesmerizing poor Americans to vote for him and his fascist ways. He is someone who has great advisors who know that there are millions of Americans who are terrified of the future, and need a champion. No one, literally no one, spoke for them in a way that made sense. They didn't go to Stanford, or law school. They know the economic and political elite use them, but despise them.

"College" needs to be reformed by better ways and ideas.
Saying graduates get more money is a self fulfilling prophecy, as college graduates in business make it a policy to only hire graduates. Kind of a cult really.
Sure, you want a well educated surgeon when it comes time for that. But imagine combining law school with undergrad life and getting a law degree in five years, and being allowed to practice for most parts of the field. Imagine combining internet education with apprentice programs for most business needs. Imagine ditching needless college courses for work that is actually useful.
Heck, imagine reforming High School so that those graduates are really what business needs.
I graduated HS in the middle of the last century, so maybe I am ignorant, but really, the way out of poverty is a good job, you know, like the ones that business exported to China and Mexico. College works because some jobs have stayed and reward BS.
I miss Maynard G. Krebs.

I agree with allot of what you are saying, especially that raising minimum wage does no good. However if a business pays there workers minimum wage(or a couple bucks more) that business shouldn't expect good employees, it's unfortunate but to be expected. Quality employees are looking for a good wage and if you won't give it to them someone else will, which leaves the bottom of the barrel.
