Comment contest winner stays the course
The winner of our recent comment contest, Info/Clackistani, has chosen the charitable designee for the last $250 check in our Buck-a-Hit Day charitable fund drive. It is Oregonians in Action Legal Center -- the same outfit chosen by last year's winner, who seems a lot like Info/Clackistani. Yes, it's a political statement, but that organization is an exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code, which is our sole criterion for the prize. Congrats to Info and to his buddies at Oregonians in Action. And thanks again to the many people who played a role in Buck-a-Hit Day -- we've got about a hundred thank-you letters waiting for a snail mail drop.

I'm for anything that would address Oregonians' inaction.

I hope he instructs the charity to use the money in the spirit he outlined in his comment.

Talea, I don't have a inclusive list of all the projects that Oregonians In Action has pursued, and it's agenda for the near future. But I do know that their take on the misuse of urban renewal throughout the state and CoP follows closely what Jack and many here post. There perspective on mass transit, lightrail is also similar to this blog. And same with several of the issues that has cropped up in Clackamas Co. and coming to Washington Co.
I mostly see common sense coming from OIA. And if not that, they at least ask questions and comment from the State legislature down to city and county level throughout the state. And some see OIA as a counterpart to 1000 Friends. I think most of us would agree that both sides of issues should be represented.
