After the last election where stupid Dayton voters put the “Endorsed Democrats” on the ballot, we got hit with a fee for new street lights. This year, we get higher trash fees: Dayton proposes the largest waste collection fee increase in years, which comes...

Face the problem- don’t regulate it.
The Dayton City Commission doesn’t have the foresight to see that the Oregon District’s only chance of booming is allowing more entertainment type businesses serving and selling liquor- since the historic ordinances limit what you can do to a building and...
When your priority is saving money, maybe it’s time to scratch the priority boards
With little money left for grants, and even less money for hand-holding, maybe it’s time to scratch the priority boards as we know them. Of course, sacred cows are the hardest to kill off, but it’s well past time to replace this antiquated mechanism for...
Why are your tax dollars going to private corporations?
You pay taxes for police protection, but are told, we can’t afford more police officers during a rash of crime. You pay taxes for street maintenance, yet, streets go unpaved because asphalt is expensive. You pay taxes on your home, while other homes sit vacant,...
Opportunities to meet the candidates

This is almost too strange. I’ve always been ticked to see the pre-election edition of “Dayton Update” mailed to every household in the city touting our illustrious leaders and all their magnificent achievements, at taxpayer expense. It reminds me of...
Dreams of selling pot brownies out of City Hall’s building
The City of Dayton is the worst real estate speculator in the region. They also aren’t very honest about what “they” own (I say “they” because it’s the taxpayers that foot the bill). Recently there was an article about a building...
The 2019 year in review: Dayton edition
I had planned to publish this on Jan 1, 2020, but, didn’t get around to it. So, now I’m editing and adding… and finally posting. 2019 had to go down as the shittiest year ever since the flood in Dayton. We had the Strike, the Klan, the Indictments,...
