Reminder
Don't forget, next Wednesday the 14th will be the third annual Buck a Hit Day on this blog. All you have to do to make a difference is show up here. For every unique visit to this blog that day (PST), my family and I will donate a dollar (up to $1,250) to a charity: the Oregon Food Bank, the food pantry of St. Philip Neri Parish, or Daybreak Shelter for homeless families.
This year, for the first time, we're also going to put up a Pay Pal button that day, and visitors can click on it to make their own contribution to another worthy cause that we'll designate. We'll match readers' donations up to another $250. (I hope I can get the technical side of things to work, but preliminary tests looked good.)
Hope to see you back here on Wednesday.

Hi, this is in response to Jack Bog's invitation to respond to his website today.
Best,
Liz Callison
Note: my particular interest is in cleaning up Portland-area political decision-making. My suggestion for Bog's electronic forum: Should public disclosure be a requirement when an elected official is deciding on a public works contract or tax abatement that will benefit any large contributors to that official's campaign for office?
Why do you think the local media studiously avoids mentioning such facts when there is an obvious public need for this type of disclosure?
