In addition at least one more charter (Victory Middle School) has closed in Portland. I tutor a charter school student (10th grade) and I am certain he is getting an inferior education in math.

No surprise or complaint on that. Even playing fast and loose with numbers (20% school funding increase?) doesn't surprise me. My big issue is with him using kids from my neighborhood as props for his libertarian school choice campaign. Like he gives a rip about these kids. Give me a break!

"Personal responsibility" is simply doublespeak for the conservative view that, in their dog-eat-dog world, people are in it for themselves and to hell with everyone else. "Our electricity" is better off in the hands of a for-profit corporation like PGE rather than a Public Utility District like the one across the river in Vancouver. And "corruption" in government equals public employee unions, who apparently dictate public policy to 'Boss' Kulongoski. What a guy, that Matt Wingard! Quite a stemwinder by Wingard.
