Joseph James Unfairly Attacked
A local blogger gave a great perspective on the truth of the 17th District race between candidates Joseph James and Tim Probst. He points out how candiate Joseph James is running a clean race while his opponent, which the Columbian described as a democrat activist, claims the importance of a clean campaign yet has posted "soft attack pieces" on his website without posting the corrections of the misquotes or false alligations included in the "soft attack pieces".Please visit http://lewwaters.wordpress.com/2008/09/01/joseph-james-ready-to-represent-the-17th-legislative-district/ to read this great comparison piece.
One thing that is clear which the article pointed out, is that Tim Probst has yet to take a stand on anything. He keeps his website vague. How can we trust someone who does not take a stand before they are elected to represent us. He has not taken a stand against taxes or taken a position on the I-5 bridge and the issue of lightrail. Maybe he doesn't realize how much this will effect the rest of us who have to work in Portland because there aren't enough decent paying jobs here in Clark County. Probst needs to be more considerate of the working class. If he is for a toll, many of us who are working a slightly above minimum wage job in Portland will be out of a job because we won't be able to afford to pay a toll to go across the bridge to get to work. And light rail probably won't be an option because of time constraints and limited service areas.
