The first major media story on newly elected Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield was his secret meeting with Governor Tina Kotek, newly elected Secretary of State Tobias Read and newly elected Treasurer Elizabeth Steiner.  The behind closed doors meeting was to discuss how to oppose President Trump’s initiatives.

The second major media story on Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield was his creation of a statewide cabinet to, once again, use Oregon government resources to fight political battles with the President of the United States.

Chris Sewerd wrote a perfect response to this in The Oregonian when he said, “Are these people paid for participating and if so, where does the funding come from – the taxpayer? … Will their communications be public or private? Is there a stated mission with defined goals and an end date? Perhaps The Oregonian/OregonLive can do a follow-up story two to three years into the Trump administration to see how productive this cabal is and how much it has cost.” 

Oregon has suffered through a crime wave.  Last year, several news stories broke about international drug cartels operating in Oregon (ringleader , drug smuggling in rural Oregon, drug cartels using Eugene AirBnBs).  Nearly three dozen men were arrested for human trafficking in Portland just 100 days ago.

Look at the recent gun bust in Portland…

We urge Oregon Attorney General to drop the politics and to make a priority the serious crime and violence issues facing Oregonians.
