Input: Consider Input: Fact is, Oregon "sits on a two-legged stool." Solely relying on income and property taxes, with no sales tax, is foolhardy. Then-- to an already wobbly position-- cut off a chunk of one of the legs (thank you, Measure 5)---- crazy!
But that's where Oregon's citizens find themselves.
So with citizens unwilling to pay any more taxes, and with an education and infrastructure system in dire need of funding, where do legislators turn?
Many of these corporations market products regionally, nationally, and internationally. The costs of any pricing increases, therefore, will be spread out over a very large population, not necessarily just Oregonians. In an imperfect system, it indeed appears to be the best alternative.

Output: Yes

Input: Consider Input: Most of the labor agreements require a specific feasibility study before any move to privatize a function. That said, they're only doing it because the Legislature told them to and they'll cook the books if necessary. There is no way this union-owned Administration is going to privatize any union work. And for the record, I don't favor ANY privatization of police or ministerial powers of government.

Output: No

Input: Consider Input: You say:
"Funny how ADN reporters fail to highlight things like the fact that after this ordeal, a Cordova Trooper paid for the victim's 5 night hotel stay out of pocket (things like that are not unusual)..."
but in the story it is stated that a trooper paid.

See "According to Brandenburg, one of the troopers at the Cordova post covered a five-night hotel stay for him out of his own pocket."

What does what you write "...day before another ADN reporter's headline about the shooting of a violent man with knives in his hands who rushed troopers after they try to talk him down, resulting in them shooting him to save themselves from being slashed is summarized by the headline "Troopers shoot and kill man on his birthday." No bias there, right ADN?

got to do with the story about Christopher and why the heartache about the difference of the two above references?
Output: Yes
