 The One True b!X's PORTLAND COMMUNIQUE: Hyperventilating Press Forces County to Nix Klingon's Inclusion On List   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
But this is a fairly illustrative example of how the insular echo-chamber of the rabid press can turn what is a strange but ultimately insubstantial story into a PR disaster of nearly-epic proportions, all in the name of trying to tar and feather a government decision as being a waste of taxpayer money.
One wonders if Linn realizes that she just walked right into a rather unfortunate precedent, in terms of letting the world of the nation's pundits dictate the terms of legitimate local governmental conversation.
As a sidenote, I have to say two things: (1) The form available on Linn's website for contacting her office fails to function; and (2) the County has the worst voicemail system I have ever had the displeasure of encountering.

Chairwoman Diane Linn and fellow commissioner Lisa Naito both said they were relieved the petition drafted by the Christian Coalition missed the Monday deadline to submit the 37,000 signatures needed to place a recall on the ballot.
But it was not clear whether the coalition would seek to recall all four commissioners who voted to approve same-sex marriages last March, or just target Linn and Commissioner Serena Cruz.
Commissioner Maria Rojo de Steffey would only be recalled until she begins a new term of office in January, Kauffman said.

Despite the reputedly progressive leanings of Diane Linn and at least 3 of the four other commissioners, it looks like children, old people, people with disabilities, and people who are poor are about to get the shaft, while the Sheriff's department smiles.
Because curiously, Chair Linn and the other commissioners have apparently decided that more police presence and more prison beds are a higher priority than social services.
Chair Linn has proudly been reporting all day that, not only will the sheriff's office not receive the kind of cuts being felt among social service workers, but her new budget will actually increase jail space by more than a hundred beds.

And therefore to re-elect George Bush, simply because the iniative is on the ballot.
The iniative wouldn't be on the ballot if Diane Linn hadn't ordered the Multnomah County Clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, because its backers went to the effort to get the 244,000 signatures only because Multnomah County was issuing same-sex marriage licenses.
Therefore if the race is close and Oregon goes for Bush, he will owe his re-election victory to Diane Linn.
