Do as we say, not as we do
Sometimes the state government in Salem is so bad that it's hard to believe. This week we learned that the bureau charged with protecting people's civil rights in the workplace is accused of being a racist employer itself.
And the operation in question is headed by someone named Val Hoyle, who is rumored to be planning a bid to run for governor. Her response to the complaint is typical Oregon: Hire a big-bucks private law firm in Portland to look into it. Great.
The accuser in this case, Carol Johnson, got out of Dodge and is now apparently the civil rights director for the City of Austin, Texas. She's suing Oregon for a cool $2.3 million.

The platform used for this blog is awfully wonky when it comes to comments. It may work for you, it may not. It's a Google thing, and beyond my control. Apologies if you can't get through. You can email me a comment at jackbogsblog@comcast.net, and if it's appropriate, I can post it here for you.
