Oregon Voters Say NO to Big Athletics Spending

This week we also saw the Oregon School District Referendum--heavily laden with athletics spending-- voted down 57% to 43%.

This doesn't bode well for any big public cash infusion for our own Ashley Field project.  Kinda sounds like most folks' pockets contain only a little lint these days.

While some may view that a narrow margin, bear in mind that this was one of those slickery referendums posed during the primary elections.  The only thing on the ballot was for a judge that few cared about!  We wonder why such an important referendum for that community was not posed later in the year...at the spring elections, perhaps?  Or the presidential primary at least.  It wouldn't be that many community members sleep through primary elections, allowing a very small group of voters to push forward some major proposal?

Nahhh....couldn't be.  That's something only wacky conspiracy theorists might believe.
Right???
