Sonia,
May I suggest instead of giving us links to other news outlets….you write some of it yourself! I'd be interested in your approach and opinion as a young person. For example, what do you think of the PPS bond asking for 1.83 BILLION to build 3 of the most expensive high schools in America while we have a falling enrollment? Willamette Weeks says vote no. Do you agree or not?
