think local
so lets get this straight,there are no local artist we have to get some one from mexico to paint a mural on a wall.we couldnt find a US citizen to do this with our tax dollars.we need to ship our tax dollars to mexico so there are no unemployed oregon artist right now.this is why we need to continue to cut funding to the schools because they are not learning.
