Stunning revolation: Betty Sue Morris never bothered to read any CTran contract either!
On fringe-leftist Ron Goodman's "Gee I hate Benton and Madore" facebook page, someone asked the question:
There were the usual leftist whack job "we support them no matter how much they screw us" responses... and then democrat former Commissioner Betty Sue Morris jumped in with an astounding confession:
She hadn't ever bothered to read the contracts the CTran Board signed, either.
In fact, she seems proud of that misfeasance.
Betty Sue Morris During my years on the C-tran Board (12 of them) I don't ever remember seeing an actual contract, nor reading one. The directors (after Les White) always fully explained their provisions and gave us an outline of what it said. This one did move a little faster than most, but the board had g- Betty Sue Morris Given direction to Hamm earlier in the month to negotiate the contract with Tri-met and bring it back as quickly as possible. The late Sept board meeting was publically noticed appropriately and it's singular purpose was to give the Executive Director authority to sign the contract. Frankly, had I been on the board for that meeting, I would have been expecting going in to be asked to vote. I have no idea why Bill Ganley said in this morning's paper that he was surprised when the vote was called. Ganley's been on that board for more than a decade!
HHhhmmmm. This seems to be a democrat pattern. Don't bother to read or allow the public to examine proposed contracts... or bills... or laws... just make them responsible for them.
Morris's response, of course, justifies absolutely nothing. A contract on a multi-billion dollar project that cedes the powers of eminent domain to an unelected, out of state agency? NATURALLY those scum didn't want us to review it. They'd have been burned out of the building had the public known about it first... and they then voted "yes" on that massive rip off.
Here's the thing, Betty Sue: that YOU didn't care enough to bother reading the contracts doesn't make it right... nor does it make this scam that The Liar, Slimeball, "I'm Bought," Screw-the-people and "Busted Eye" voted for any more ethical... moral... or legal.
Just sayin'.
GOP Congressman Radel should resign: Cocaine brain.
There's no excuse for this nonsense, and this moron should go. Now.
No lawmaker should remain in his or her seat if they are, in fact, law breakers.
I get that Kennedy only murdered one woman, but that was one too many.
But if you're in elective office, at any level, and you break the law... DUI, Armed Robbery, illegal drugs or anything else?
Then the first thing that should happen is that you resign.
Because no one makes anyone break the law... and you've sworn an oath that your lawbreaking has violated.
Party doesn't matter. Position doesn't matter. I don't break the law, why should those in office who do not suffer the ultimate political penalty for doing so?
And, no: "rehab" doesn't cut it. "Rehab" is what you do before your get busted. Otherwise, rehab is what you're doing in an abortive attempt to save your political ass.

Fla. Congressman Enters Rehab After Cocaine Charge
Florida Republican Rep. Henry "Trey" Radel, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of cocaine possession and received a year's probation, said Thursday he has checked himself into a rehabilitation center.
The freshman lawmaker said in a statement that he is seeking treatment and counseling in a Florida center for his drug and alcohol abuse.
"It is my hope, through this process, I will come out a better man," Radel said. "I will work hard to gain back the trust and support of my constituents, friends and most importantly, my family."
On Wednesday, Radel called a late-night press conference to announce that he is taking a leave of absence from Congress and donating his salary to charity.'
"I'm not going to sit here and make any excuses for what I've done," he told reporters. "I have let down our country. I've let down our constituents. I've let down my family, including my wife. And even though he doesn't know it, I've let down my 2-year-old son."
The 37-year-old lawmaker said he takes responsibility for what he did.
More:At a court hearing earlier Wednesday in Washington, Radel told a judge, "I've hit a bottom where I realize I need help" in acknowledging that he purchased 3.5 grams of cocaine from an undercover police officer.
From the "no lie a leftist won't tell" file: Russell Simmons, vacuous Obamacare slimeball.
It takes a special kind of stupid to shoot off your mouth because of a race-based slavish devotion to a blithering idiot of a president who just happens to resemble your skin color.
Of course, the privileged ones in the upper part of the top 1% of the rich like Mr. Simmons will never have to concern themselves with issues like premiums, copays and deductibles. This kind of "Bread and Circuses" bullshit is why Obama's numbers are lower than Bush II's.
The Obama's and the Simmons of the world will have the finest medical care that money can buy. The rest of us?
Not so much.
It would be different if these scum were forced to contend with the disaster they've developed and support. But we all know THAT will never happen. And that's just part of their rank hypocrisy.
Remember Rule One of legislation:
If you have to lie to get your bill, your project, your program passed?
Then it shouldn't BE passed.
Thanks to Mr. Simmons for coming up with yet another reason why this trainwreck should be repealed.
Russell Simmons: ObamaCare Already Saved Thousands, Possibly Millions, of Lives
To the average American, ObamaCare is part web site disaster, part shattered campaign promise writ very, very large.
Millions of Americans have already been forced out of their existing health care policies, a number that may skyrocket in the new year.
Russell Simmons sees it differently.
The hip-hop mogul says ObamaCare is already so successful it's saved thousands, if not millions of lives.
Yes, we initially wanted single payer, and we had to compromise back in 2009 for the Affordable Care Act. But, it is a damn good piece of legislation that has already saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives. So, let us not give up now.
It's this kind of stupidity and ignorance that got that moron in the White House elected in the first place.More:

National democratian buffs their leftist partisan hackery.
The local daily rag makes no bones about it: their mission is to work for and further the local leftist's agenda and candidates... not unlike their larger version they use as a model... the New York Times.
Yesterday, the scumbag running the US Senate used the nuclear option. I believe they pulled the trigger under the guise that democrat popularity is unlikely to sink any further. After all, as Soviet tanks were entering Berlin, Hitler polled in the high 60's according to Gallup, so how bad could it get?
Back in 05, when the GOP was contemplating the nuclear option, the leftists in the Senate, including that waste of skin now in the White House, bitched like cut cats.
As the GOP was stupidly pondering the same move, here's an excerpt from the roll of used toilet paper aka the New York Times back in 2005:
It's that their lies are even thinly veiled attempts at what journalism is supposed to be: the fair and unbiased reporting of facts.
That, of course, is an unheard of concept here locally... but it's apparently a universal construct of leftist media everywhere.
And this... is just another example... of that.

Many of the wisest Republicans are well aware that their leaders are playing a dangerous game and that they are doing it for frivolous reasons. The judicial nominees can easily be replaced. But the sense that there are certain rules that all must play by, whether to their advantage or not, is something that cannot be restored. Senators need only to look at the House to see what politics looks like when the only law is to win at any cost.Apparently, when it's the democrats engaging in this sort of things, the communists at the Times take a somewhat different view:
In the raucous and dysfunctional House of Representatives, any bill, no matter how inflammatory, has been dubbed bipartisan so long as it attracts a handful of Democratic votes. While Senate leaders have held up for praise any legislation that has secured strong bipartisan majorities — a farm bill, an immigration overhaul, a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act — Democrats have seethed as one presidential nominee after another fell to procedural blockades and major initiatives like gun control collapsed when they could not reach the 60-vote threshold.
Then on Thursday, before a solemn, almost funereal gathering on the Senate floor, the pretense came to an end.It's not just the standard, fringe left hypocrisy such as that exhibited by the scumbags at the democratian as their usual lack of ethics and basic fairness are in play EVERY DAY.
It's that their lies are even thinly veiled attempts at what journalism is supposed to be: the fair and unbiased reporting of facts.
That, of course, is an unheard of concept here locally... but it's apparently a universal construct of leftist media everywhere.
And this... is just another example... of that.
