Oregonian Battle!

Tom: Fair point. Opinion does belong in editorial, not the news pages.
Obviously, we disagree on whether the Measure 37 story was an editorial
or news story.
We don't have an ombudsman like we used to have. But you can contact
the public editor's desk. I'll have to dig out the right address and
will send it to you.

Your response is irrelevant. Editorials belong in the editorial
section, so people know they were written with a POV. That is my point.
Does the Oregonian have an Ombudsman?

Tom:
Yes, there are people who feel Oregonians were duped and they were in
the story. But so were others who feel differently.
Would you disagree that the Zidells, Swindells, and Hemstreets are a
split from the Dorothy Englishes of the world?

"Little old lady" "Corporate captains"- c'mon, you must be kidding.
Unfortunately, I doubt you are. The tone, heck the subject, of the
article is biased. Oregonian's were duped. Right?

Mr. Pahlke: Thanks for the note. What about that seems to be an
editorial to you? Ryan

Mr. Frank, is this a report or an editorial? Does the Oregonian even
care about the difference anymore? Honestly.

Late flurry of land claims hits Portland

A little old lady sold Measure 37 to Oregonians in 2004 when she
couldn't split her forestland.
Two years later, Portland's corporate captains seem to think she was
onto something. Some of the city's most recognizable names have
followed
Dorothy English, 94, in asking the government for cash or a free pass
from regulations passed since they bought their properties.
