This is utterly rubish. If the state wants to know who is homeschooling they can look at the PFD records minus enrollment data in the ANSWERS data base held by ACPE. Before ANSWERS, they could use borough level recreation records, so let's knock offthe " we don't know" struff, because they DO know. The issue here is not how many. The real issue here is that OCS is looking for ANY reason to come and invade homes.
These folks receive no money from the state and thus the state has no legitimate reason to intercede unless there is probably cause that a crime is being or has been committed. The parents are accountable--because if you mess it up you are stuck with the kids living with you rather than being independent.
What happened in this case, if true, was terrible, but to suggest all homeschool families are terrible because one is is a bridge too far.

Bruce: Thank you for your letter, it offers the most valuable perspective I can imagine. I'm 73 and have recently witnessed the very "difficult" deaths of two good friends...One from ALS, the other after a long, "losing" battle with cancer. Both men reached the point where they were in constant pain, needed heavy, heavy pain medication and had no "in between" time giving them any quality of life....either intense pain or drug-induced "sleep."

I strongly agree with you. At some point, it's time to "wave the white flag" and end one's life. It should be, as you say, at the stage of your choosing.

It's a difficult circumstance, a difficult choice and a difficult topic for discussion. Thank you for reminding us all that we need to consider it, and, perhaps, will face the choice ourselves. We need the legal authority to do so.

my best to you, Gary

I just listed the taxes I know about. Feel free to educate me on "ALL the marijuana related taxes" besides the current 25% about to be reduced to 17%.

We know the Feds don't have an MJ tax; we know Lane County doesn't have anMJ tax; we know Eugene doesn't have an MJ tax and we know Springfield doesn't have an MJ tax.

I remember the R-G article about the MJ tax income received since January which I believe reflected recreational sales prior to that date as well, but I just looked at rates of taxes. I'm sure you feel free to list such numbers as you think are important.
