It has a Portland mailing address, but is within Gresham city limits. I used to live in the area and it was annexed into Gresham in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Go to the city of Gresham website and zoom over the city map they have and look at the boundary line. This address is clearly within Gresham.

The fact that it shares a Portland mailing address is irrelavant.

Really. Let's also look at the fact that folks in most of the timber counties are hardly paying any property taxes to begin with. Let's at least bring them up to the same levels as the rest of us and then we'll make some decisions. It's sad how mansions in Deschutes County pay hardly any property tax at all.

If you want the services pay the same tax rate....

What does this have to do with anything here?

It's still news dude. Police in Maine found a body. You don't see that as important, so don't read the article.

It's called journalism 101. The headline is about the article. You can't put the whole story in the headline and if you did you wouldn't get people to read the story. They teach this stuff in basic journalism class.

No different from the commercial about the news at 11 about whatever is sensational. Then you have to watch several minutes into it. Again, journalism 101.

20 to 17? That is too much of a difference at that age. You wouldn't have dated my daughter. If you were 18 and she were 17 then that may be different. But not a chance. I'd ask you politely to go away and hang out with those your age. If you wouldn't heed the warning we'd have some serious issues.

This might work for the single, young worker. But if you are a parent with kids it doesn't work. After work I coach my kids sports, I have to get the kids at daycare, and on and on. Also, I can tell you some of the aged workforce can't handle 10 hour days. Studies also show people are less productive the longer they are at work, so all in all is this a gain? I am not sure. I think it's not as black and white as some folks make it out to be.

It's incredible how many people have to resort to name calling and personal attacks here. Shows how bad this place is.

You are a fool. Not a teacher or a state employee. Stick to the topic dude.

Nope, not at all. So why call names? Really shows how bad your schooling was - and how we need to fund that properly. Look at you, a total degenerate. Your debate style shows how dumb you really are.
