Impressive! Ten-for-ten!!! The Sizemore and The Mannix must be grinding their teeth to nubs. I hope they have good dental insurance, something they would both like to take away from every public employee in the State of Oregon!
We do need to remember that some of these are close. With Measure 64 there's only a difference of 18.882 votes (as of the 21st).
