Rats leaving the Sinking Ship???<br />
<br />
Schrader and DeFazio are the two Democrats in the delegation who face potentially competitive reelection races next year, and they have both been more apt to criticize the president than other Democrats in the delegation.<br />
<br />
DeFazio said in a statement that he has always been willing to support "common sense fixes" to the Affordable Care Act and that "he joined with Democrats and Republicans to make it easier for Oregonians who like their insurance plan to keep that plan."<br />
<br />
Schrader expressed similar sentiments, saying in a statement that it would help "provide folks who have lost their existing insurance plans with some certainty for the time being."<br />

facilitating a quick and safe response to disasters, has released this
video that takes a look at how bikes played a role in New York’s
recovery from Super Storm Sandy. Jonathan Maus, of BikePortland.org,
describes how “resilient and flexible using bicycles” is. <br />

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers cannot produce about $1 billion of
receipts for fuel and other supplies it bought in Iraq using Iraqi
money, a government investigation has found.<br />
The total amount of
funds unaccounted for has now reached a staggering $7 billion, officials
say — and they warn that the Iraqi government is likely to demand at
least some of that money back.<br />

This must really irritate Sam... <a href="http://www.katu.com/news/local/Two-Portlanders-refuse-to-testify-before-grand-jury-after-FBI-raid-164832086.html">First he wasn't told that the FBI was raiding his constituents "occupied" residences</a>And now this <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;">On Sunday, August 6, 2012 at 10:45 p.m., Portland Police officers assigned to North Precinct responded to a residential burglary to a duplex in the 500 block of Northeast Bryant Street. The property is a newly constructed duplex which is staged with furniture and listed for sale. The owner of the property told police that he arrived to find signs of a burglary and believed people may still be inside.</span><br />

When attempting to search the other half, officers discovered that the lockbox had been removed from the front door and another lockbox had been removed from the gas meter. Officers looking through the front door could clearly see that furniture had been moved and there was a grocery bag on the kitchen floor.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;">Officers and the homeowner entered the backyard to find that all the fencing between the duplex and the house to the west (Occupy Portland) had been removed and was piled up in the backyard of the residence being squatted in by Occupy Portland supporters.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;">The homeowner was able to allow police entry to the duplex after breaching a window. Once inside officers arrested 24-year-old Derek John Charles Zika, who was crouched down by the front door. Zika had personal belongings in an upstairs bedroom and it appeared he had just taken a shower in the upstairs bathroom. The grocery bag in the kitchen contained 2 new sets of door locks that did not belong to the homeowner.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;">Zika was arrested and charged with Burglary in the First Degree and Criminal Trespass in the First Degree and booked into the Multnomah County Jail.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;">The Portland Police Bureau is continuing to work on getting cooperation from owners of vacant properties like the one being squatted in by supporters of Occupy Portland on Northeast Bryant Street.
