		Kulongoski, who was criticized by Saxton as well as some Democrats earlier this year for not being aggressive enough in his first term, made it clear Tuesday night that he’s going to push hard for his priorities in the legislative session that begins Jan. 8.
		Kulongoski has been dogged by low public approval ratings this year, and even some of his traditional allies among unions and environmental groups were lukewarm about the governor during the contested primary elections earlier this year.
		Kulongoski, who conceded during the campaign that he’s “not a flashy politician,’’ said his administration nonetheless deserved some of the credit for helping to pull Oregon out of a deep recession that forced cuts in schools and other services from 2001 to 2003.

		But in fact, Kulongoski is slogging through a very difficult campaign, and it's hard even to determine which of the threats against him — internal Democratic dissension, an aggressive Republican challenger, a strong independent opponent, or Kulongoski's own record — will ultimately prove to be his greatest obstacle.

		Kulongoski was spared one source of stress when his gubernatorial predecessor, John Kitzhaber, chose not to mount a primary challenge.

		Kulongoski Vows to Protect Payday Loan Regulations: Gov. Ted Kulongoski says he will use his veto, if necessary, to thwart any move by the payday loan industry to overturn new regulations that were approved in last week’s special legislative session.
		Kulongoski also used his speech to promote his “education enterprise”—a proposal to dedicate 61 percent of the state’s general fund to schools, from pre-kindergarten proposals through the university and graduate system, which he said would bring down the state’s notoriously high class sizes and add programs that have been cut in the past few years.
		Kulongoski hailed that as the third straight year of growth since passage in 2003 of a 1 percent statewide lodging tax dedicated to promoting Oregon as a national and international destination.

		But Fred told me he is just sick of the cover up and for Ted and other FON's (Friends of Neil), pretending the child rape which took place over a period of three years has never been fully answered to by Neil...and his friend Ted Kulongoski, the Governor of Oregon.
		As governor, Ted showered favors on Neil's clients, and in spite of what he knew of Neil's crime, appointed him to the State Board of Higher Education.
		So Speaker Hastert, I suggest you adopt Kulongoski's playbook for political survival: First, issue a statement saying that you are "greatly surprised, saddened and upset" by the revelations, and that your heart goes out to the victim.
