I once met and asked Val why so many Oregon laws got passed as an "emergency measure."  She said it was standard practice.  Do you ever get tired of someone at that age as an adult claiming "everyone does it" as and excuse?  Come to find out, both democrats and republicans tack this on to avoid letting the voters decide by referendum.  As a side note, she also was one of the main proponents of giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants.  Last time I checked, driving a motor vehicle on public roads was a privilege, not a right.  She claimed it would make roads safer.  Baloney!  I'm all for legal immigrants,  not illegal ones.
