Yes, I was intending to compare both factors. Specifically, Table 13 of the report (p. 28) lists rates of violations resulting in a jail stay as a proportion of the population of each demographic on probation/parole, whereas Table 14 (p. 30) lists rates of violations resulting in a jail stay as a proportion of the total population of each demographic. 

My main beef with this article is that it seems to suggest that black adults are jailed at a disproportionately high rate because black adults violate probation/parole (resulting in jail stays) at a disproportionately high rate (i.e., data that would be found in Table 13, which fails to show such a lopsided disproportionality), but instead relates the data from Table 14, which seem irrelevant without also taking into account the proportions of each population on probation/parole in the first place.

i told you I cannot since when the errors are pointed out by the readers, the authors correctly immediately.  if you follow the blogs on cb, you would have seen such lax reporting by some of the journalists.  as you can see I do read the articles on cb and know what I see.  I don't have specifics because I have not recorded them as they occurred.  there was on article recently that blamed rail for causing the doe to build new schools because of tods.  this was just ludicrous.  how can anyone in his right mind or have any power of reasoning make that kind of comment?

I echo christa_m's remark below - I am most interested in the answer to #7. With due respect to Mr. Jaquiss, I am perplexed about the placement of this item so far down the list. I also can't fathom these individuals as "protesters" - that describes peaceful marchers objecting to violent deaths at the hands of police officers, not an armed militia. 

These armed domestic terrorists were allowed to overtake control of land protected by our national government for the safety of our wildlife without consequence for 3 weeks; a number of them still remain unfettered in their unlawful, threatening behavior. While in no way do I wish official intervention had led to any loss of life, I most assuredly have far more concern for their being held accountable than I do for the details of their arrest. Is it not obvious why they'd be transferred to Portland? Does it matter if they were drawn away from the refuge under false pretense? I do not understand the tone or intention of this piece.
Output: No
are you referring to the ones they have video of stored in cardboard boxes that have been chewed through by rats and littered with rat feces and urine? I think on this one the govt set the example of how those artifacts were handled...only video i saw of them handling artifacts were when they cleaned up the building and they did make repeated attempts to return the artifacts to the tribe. Wondering who they terrorized since the refuge is 53 miles from burns and anytime the people that occupied the refuge itself went to town they went unarmed. now...the former fire chief did expose FBI posing as militia. in fact...they tried on several occaisons to get those artifacts back and the tribe refused...go figure...

Agreed, you left out the part about how we are entering a recession but our legislature continues to bury its collective head in the sand.  They continue to believe oil prices will rebound and save the state, and why shouldn't they, I mean it's happened many times in the past right?  Yes indeed it has, but that was when we were pumping millions of barrels of oil a day and only needed $50 or $60 a barrel to balance the budget, not the $100+ a barrel were hoping for now.

They refuse to believe it because they know that implementing a more balanced state revenue stream would require some form of taxes.  Taxes would likely spell the end of many political careers, so we are left with a bunch of ostriches in Juneau with their heads in the sand.......

I have not listened to your show. Wasn't familiar with it until I saw the post about the end of your show. I guess I wanted to say  that you sound somewhat relieved about this decision. I definitely understand that stress takes a toll on the mind, heart and soul, I'm wondering though...you have heard the political landscape for a long time. People are more angry this election cycle for the very reasons Bernie has been stating all along. People are tired, angry, sick, afraid... You wrap that up into a nice election cycle and people will start lashing out. I'm sure it wasn't surprising. But, what does surprise me is that you may not have noticed that the political system is completely changed. There is no Democratic party. There is no two party system. It's all titles now. The people aren't going to "celebrate" each other when their supposed party leaders are corrupt. They will be more vitriolic in their own message because there is no other place to pur it.

The fact that some children get a poor education is indisputable -- that goes for homeschooled and public schooled kids. What checks and balances could actually prevent this? Public schools have gone to more and more and more standardized tests (most AK homeschoolers aren't independent and also take these) and attempts to legislate that everyone score well. How well does that work? As for homeschoolers, you could add more paperwork. Some states do. Someone willing to hide their kids in the basement is probably cool with fudging or skipping the paperwork. Internet forums abound with instructions on how to get through paperwork hoops. Do we send inspectors to every home? Whose standards do they use? "Checks and Balances" is a good idea, truly, but only if we think through what checks are effective, practical, and don't cause more harm than they prevent. Ideas?

This is just further proof that the Malheur occupiers are all mentally ill people.  These are clearly the acts of an unbalanced person.   They need to all either be locked up in prison, or become a patient at a secure mental hospital.

" Crooked as a dog's hind leg ". That pretty much sums it up, the gerrymandering, coupled with an all out assault on democratic principles perpetrated by the Parnell administration has left Alaska in this predicament. Our current conservative thugs have only their self interest at heart. That part of the republican philosophy remains constant. That the budget was ever allowed to grow to four billion is criminal in itself. The problem with restructuring the dividend is there are no checks and balances associated with government spending, we see what they've managed to accomplish thus far, give our children's future to the oil companies. Its time to take back our government and diversify our interest in economic development. Thanks for another fine commentary Shannyn.

Wow. The text appears after several days and is a surprise. The author wishes for a more quiet and sedate time, you know, when Karl Rove was around. When war criminals led us to invade a nation and kill thousands of its citizens in a "shock and awe" campaign of unimaginable horror and, you know, screams and other such noise.
Sooner or later Great Britain will be getting their report on the lies that led to the Iraq war. We, on the other hand, will be getting odd commentaries like this one, that compares the barbarism of the Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld era with a shouting match. 
Anger and despair sound loud and usually involve bad grammar and insults. I, for one, think this election is all about the chaos and cacophony of a people waking to the fact their leaders have let privileged characters loot the treasury and enrich themselves as the poor die. 
As for me, Trump's insults and accurate comments on the W. war were about the only genuine part of the discussion.

My (simplistic) take on the political spectrum is this; about 25% of the voters are far right - the tea party lot, about 25% are far right - the progressive bunch, and the rest of us are somewhere in the middle 50%.  I'm a registered democrat but on occasion I've voted republican.  Spent 40 years in construction, union carpenter-foreman-superintendent.  Missed Vietnam because of childhood asthma.

Well, the Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox Churches venerate Stephen as a Saint but all the representations of him actually have actual stones shown, and since he actually was a Jew killed by Jews in 48 AD, according to the biblical references, I'm having trouble finding a marijuana reference that fits.  

But theology is so changeable, maybe in another 50 years or so that will be the new doctrine according to one of the religions who already see him as a Saint or a new religion will emerge with that 'truth' as part of their catechism.

"This bill doesn’t go far enough."

I couldn't agree more. The proposed bill ought to emphasize safe driving---prevention, not just the penalty the killer will face after the fact. For added perspective, motorists crashed 5,419,000 times in 2010 alone, killing 32,999, injuring 2,239,000 and causing hundreds of billions of dollars in property damage. Avoidable and pointless traffic violations are a factor in most of them. This happens because it's allowed to happen. It won't stop until the penalty for aggressive driving is made consummate with the death and destruction it causes. Raise the penalty for speeding, running red lights and tailgating to $10,000 and a year in jail; watch how fast the body count takes a dive.

I completely understand the frustration Mr. Sharpless.    The public is going to get two candidates, both of which can and should be considered part of the 1%.   While I'm pretty sure the Clintons accumulated wealth doesn't match Trump's, their circle of influence in definitely world wide and continues through the Clinton foundation work.   

The life of Mr. Trump has always had great privilege thanks to his family wealth and association, and he had continued to build wealth through  his investments.   Anyone who expects Mr. Trump to help legislation that would curb his wealth, tax breaks, rules of bankruptcy,  must be forgetting we're talking about Mr. Trumps life work and the benefits that he gets from that work.

If you're concerned about a financial/political oligarchy that shapes American policy, I don't think either candidate is going to be very satisfying.

I wish people would understand that "worshiping" or following a deeply held religious faith, regardless of the sect, denomination, etc. is more than just what happens on Sunday morning from 11am-noon.  Religious faith and religious life is not a suit one wears one day in a week, and then one puts on a different suit for the remainder of the week. True faith affects a person's every action. It forms one's view of the world. Requiring Christians to help facilitate something their faith strongly condemns, e.g. baking a wedding cake, photographing a wedding, counseling a same-sex couple etc., is in the same vein as forcing a conscientious objector to go to war. We don't force C.O.'s into the Army, many of whom have religious objections; why do we force other people of faith to go against their religious objections? If the First Amendment is to be anything more than feel-good legislation, then people of faith must be allowed to live that faith every day-even if it isn't popular with others.

Before you come after our PFD and raid the CBR, you had better reestablish a fair tax system for the oil companies operating and still taking big profits from our state. We know we are going to have to pay an income tax to help sustain government and we know that is not enough and that you will need to access the PF, but you must begin to tax the oil companies in a fair and transparent manner.

John, quit spewing misinformation. You write "1. “untrammeled by man” Independent studies show a bike “trammels” no more than a boot and far less than a hoof."  The part that it does no more harm than hikers is wrong.  In side by side test plots, bicycles do no more harm than hikers.  But even the researchers say that mountain bikes does 2 to 3 times more harm than hikers because mountain bikers cover 2 to 3 times more ground in a given time period.  Please John, quit continually posting crap that you have already been caught on being false.  As far as horses, they live freely in some wilderness areas. It would be hard to ban something that lives freely in an area. And horses are not "mechanical transport" which is expressly prohibited by the Wilderness Act.

What a pathetic waste of taxpayer dollars on this nonsensical criminalization of marijuana. Statistically alcohol causes many greater social problems. This man is not a threat to society. If they are determined to keep it illegal, then impose fines or something along those lines rather than locking people up. These arcane "lock 'em up" policies are simply fuel for the industrial prison complexes and those who profit from them. I personally choose not to use any intoxicants but I'm disgusted by the hypocrisy that some mind-altering drugs, like alcohol, can be openly promoted and sold, while others, like marijuana, are selectively enforced as a criminal substance.

tRump Accuses Billary Of Lying, but he lies to himself and the NRA

“I’m not advocating guns in classrooms,” tRump said on Sunday, “but remember in some cases — a lot of people made this case — teachers should have guns, trained teachers should have guns in classrooms.”

tRump’s claim that he is “not advocating guns in classrooms” is a stark reversal from the position he took during a speech at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting Friday, where he told a crowd of roughly 80,000 NRA members that he would do away with gun-free zones
 
The presumptive nominee has criticized gun-free zones in the past, notably in the wake of the October mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, which left 10 dead.“It was a gun-free zone,” tRump said during a speech days after the incident. “I will tell you — if you had a couple of the teachers or somebody with guns in that room, you would have been a hell of a lot better off.” (Umpqua Community College was NOT a gun-free zone.)

Don't know about exemptions in the law, Lynn. I do know that when the Dems were the majority, they'd routinely have meetings in places outside the Capitol and wouldn't notice them. The only way the minority or media knew they happened was when bills would mysteriously come up on the respective floors for a vote. Those are the good old days the Dems hanker for and the media conveniently forgets.

As far as the status quo...for the media to pile on the majority in the legislature and not call out Walker and the Dems for their numerous infractions is the kind of unbalanced, biased reporting that frustrates everyone and keeps the public ignorant on what's really going on down there. I know that when I speak to leggies and their aides, there's almost always more to the story than was reported in the media. And the Dem leggies know how to play that game all too well. I witnessed it last year during the special session in Anch how the Dems and media  manipulate the public w/misinformation.

Would individuals be required to provide proof of income when they sign up for a library card in your proposed two tier fines system? Is this to become another public service where low income families would be forced to admit poverty and ask for help? Is this a real argument against taking down barriers that prevent kids from access to reading? The library's proposal is a progressive and great idea. If you're worried about kids learning responsibility look to the parents that can afford this high and mighty shit. Life lessons are not the responsibility of the libraries, their responsibility is to provide access to books to the community and they have found a great way to do a better job of this.

The income tax as proposed is nuts as it does not raise enough income and the federal income tax is badly broken as only about half the wage earners pay anything.  Any new taxes need to be broadly based or higher income retirees will leave by the thousands and upper middle class wage earners will demand much higher salaries or leave,

If Semple had her way, we'd all go back to the Eugene of the late 60s. She would be yet *another* aging lib member on the council just like ol' betty willing to grind this rapidly growing city, second largest in Oregon, to a *screeching* halt in order to achieve that goal.

 I shouldn't have to wait for my flower child city councilors to literally die off for any decent change to occur. Eugene will always have a quirky reputation as a hippie haven, but it has *far* outgrown that single reality, and the other dimensions of this city and its people need recognition. Some of us want to address growth, jobs, education, and some form of cohesive civic beauty in future pieces of architecture. 

Like hell do I want her involved in the EWEB waterfront development, 5th st. Market district, any future projects on Franklin or in downtown. Even I - a lib -realize we need to bring our govt. back towards center from where it is

She'd spin her wheels on nonsense while the real world passes Eugene by

I agree with using PF earnings to fund some government. I couldn't tell but it seemed the author was in favor of the status quo. He also seemed to advocate spending cuts(which I support but likely won't happen), and an income tax. 

Problem is, that ain't gonna do it. It would be a miracle if there were $500 million in spending cuts. Or perhaps a $500 million whack in oil taxes and credits. A combination of Income tax and sales tax might be good for 300 or 400 million dollars. You still have to find 2.5 billion somewhere...or hope like heck for $120 pb oil.

That's why I made the stupid post on purpose. I wanted to show how much income tax that wage and income earners would have to pay in a hypothetical to eliminate the deficit as it stands now. Because the 6% of federal liability would only cover around 2.5% of it, or around $100 million

Failed reading comprehension? I'll admit it was a weak subject for me. But something needs to change in the status quo with the PF and PFD.

No Steve it is not as black and white as you are trying to reduce it to. What a responsible, truly independent legislature would have done is come up with a compromise that kept the best of ACES and got rid of the worst in a manner that covered the states revenue stream at both high and low prices. The people that shoved SB21 out were not as concerned about the effects the radical revision of ACES would have on the state as they were eager to show gratitude for the oil industry campaign contributions that would keep them in office for another term. As Kevin Meyers said "It's a crap shoot" and the state has come up snake eyes. Didn't have to be this way Steve but with an illegally gerry wandered super majority in control they got what they wanted regardless of all the warnings to the contrary.

I'm sure Christine Lundberg is a very nice person.  For me, I only have 20K+ volunteer hours in public service orgs, service on disability rights boards, and several pieces of state legislation that I have authored through legislative counsel.  I also began my work career assisting in the law offices of the Secretary of the Bonneville NW energy consortium - a vast array of public utilities. Though I guess you could say I am "unqualified".   However, I am offering a new way of looking at politics in Springfield, using our intelligence to focus on making better use of its resources and workforce. So if Democrats can't defeat her, perhaps they also need to try something new.  Perhaps the Mayor should try something new as well... we need her to lead.  It is not enough to spend all ones political time and capital demonizing the 10 homeless folks who are annoying police and passer's by by asking for change, while our kids have about a 30% chance of graduating from college.

I know of several cases similar to the one I posted. The details of my case demonstrated a pure "defend the fortress" mentality. The attorney admitted he sent the e-mail, but claimed he wasn't cognizant of what "extortion" meant. Yet his rate was over $400/hour.

The GC said there was "no evidence" that the attorney knew what "extortion" meant.

If the readers visiting this website want, they can look at the bottom of the article. WW has had to redact a claim they made that said Fred was "arrested." That is a false statement and WW had to admit it was an error. I wonder what else has been exaggerated in this hatchet job, racist attack on my good friend Fred Stewart. I defended my friend and in the comments section a person accused me of being his "mistress." Because why else would I defend him, right? THAT is the kind of blatant racism that exists in this city. I am a happily married women, my husband is Don DuPay. But I am also Fred's friend and I will defend him. He did not deserve this racist attack, and it is this kind of crap yellow journalism that WW has recently become well-known for. WW is currently an irrelevant Rag of a gossip magazine that no one really cares about anymore. The sad truth, I'm afraid.

How will she do that? How has Obama done that? I seem to recall that the US is producing more oil now than has decades. Thus, the low price/barrel of oil. What is destroying the energy industry in Alaska is greedy corporations that won't do anything without huge tax breaks and our politicians in Juneau that can't make a decision to save their lives. Liberate yourself from Trump talking points and you will do well.

“I think if you look at dinners and votes, there is no correlation.”  "didn’t know who bought his tickets and didn’t ask."

Two politicians elected to represent all of their constituents who claim never to be influenced by the perks they receive from paid lobbists.   Both claim to be above corruption and outside influence.  Hmmm     Somehow I find that very hard to believe!  

I know what happens in the business world where business decisions are based on cost and effective return to the business, ie; profits and low cost operations which keep the business alive.  A successful business does not pay $4 million a year rent when they can be successful paying $1 million.  

The facts and events of the past 5 years of our legislative financial largess suggest  that either our legislators are totally inept and short sighted or have been corrupted by those special interests supported by large $um$ of 'perks'.  But since they don't care to ask?.......

There is a very simple solution that would allow non-consumptive users to contribute to state sponsored wildlife education, conservation, and wildlife viewing programs and that is to have a voluntary checkoff on the PFD application. If this were in place, one could contribute as much as one wants from one's PFD. 

But there is a catch, as a non-consumptive user - I would want equal representation on the Board of Game as opposed to the second class status that non-consumptive users currently are relegated to. It is for this reason that while the hunting community may complain about non-hunters not contributing financially, in reality, this is exactly what they want as it helps them to maintain their political monopoly on fish and wildlife resources. 

During a time when the state is facing a serious budget crunch, such a proposal as the above, only makes sense to help fund the above programs regardless of opposition from the hunting community.

Mahalo, Todd, for again sharing the best of yourself. Your pain is our pain, and together we can indeed make good from this. The first step, I must note even as we mourn, is to acknowledge that your subhead, "The Enemy Isn't Religion, It's Homophobia," is off target, pun intended. The enemy is a vast group of Americans who support the sale of guns to crazy people. Without guns, the murderers in Newtown, Aurora, Charleston and now Orlando would have done ... what? Thrown rocks? Thrusted knives? Made bombs? I doubt it. They would have done nothing but stew in their own vile bile. Kids, worshippers, co-workers, LGBT partiers: The crazies are equal-opportunity killers, and to focus on their targets, their motives or anything other than their means is to sidestep the truth.

That's because of the Salem legislators who pushed through high density planning statewide in 1986. What blows my mind is the republicans in rural counties went along with this, when had they not adopted high density planning all the jobs and growth would have gone to rural counties that need it the most.

A President selected by the current House of Representatives.    

In the case of an Electoral College deadlock or if no candidate receives the majority of votes, a “contingent election” is held. The election of the President goes to the House of Representatives. 

Each state delegation casts one vote for one of the top three contenders to determine a winner.  

Since there will  be three 'contenders',  it will depend on how the 452 (one spot is vacant) Representatives vote in each State.  Are there more "Red" States or more "Blue" states?  26 States will be enough to  elect the President.  

Do 'Democratic' State Representatives like Hillary better than Bernie?   Are there enough of either kind to outweigh the number of 'Republican' State Representatives?

Now that would be a can of worms!
