Property taxes are way out of line    To the editor:    The year 2012 brought some interesting items on my property tax statement.    I own a very nondescript home here in Newberg, nothing fancy, certainly no HG-TV dream home and not very up to date.

Guest Opinion

Jan. 23 publisher's column: See what we mean about a difference of opinions?

published: 1/22/2013 12:12:51 PM

   Several issues back we published an editorial about gun violence and we said that there was a disagreement about what the opinion should be and therefore didn’t really express one.

Jan. 9 guest opinion: Gun control, mental health laws won’t make us safer

published: 1/8/2013 3:43:25 PM

published: 1/29/2013 2:30:40 PM

   So much for the “Grand Bargain” — or at least for the not-so-grand gutting of Social Security and Medicare that the “very serious” thought-leaders of Washington political and media circles have always found so appealing.

Jan. 30 editorial: Board of Commissioners must take a look at Sanai

published: 1/29/2013 2:28:39 PM

   Government has an image problem. It is blamed for all manner of societal ills and its image isn’t improving. But we’ve always believed that local and county government hereabouts were run much better, more responsibly and with an understanding that officials are answerable to the those folks that sign their checks — the taxpayers    So it is with grave concern that we report two stories in today’s edition about problems with the one person in county government that should above all understand the importance of upholding the law — the county counsel.
