Refusing to execute another prisoner, Kitzhaber takes a stand against a Far West mindset. Black Friday? Oh, yes, Occupy Seattle will be downtown, then at Wal-Marts. Gov. Gregoire promises she will campaign for a temporary sales tax if legislators will put the issue before voters.
Another bad budget idea from Gregoire; Murray on who killed the supercommittee; Alaskan corruption gets somehow even more corrupt; Portland Police Chief backs off mayoral run.
