It could be that the sharpest political wedge that divides Oregonians, and keeps us from finding much more potent agreement than we do, is compensation of public employees. There's plenty to say on this subject. Part of what I want to say in this week's column, triggered by recent news that fund managers in the Treasurer's office are getting big bonuses, is that folks unhappy with some aspects of government salaries have a better point than we progressives like to admit. Ignoring that point just deepens the wedge.
Your comments most welcome...
