night being interviewed. I am positive she is a good Governor, but I was not impressed with her response to the questions. She prefaced almost each answer with the delaying tactic: “That’s a very good question.” She seemed stunned by what was happening. I was not impressed with Senator Merkley, either. The one who impressed was/is the Attorney General. She is actually doing something. I can only hope that Governor Brown had a part in the decision to bring charges. If I were an Oregonian, I would be furious at the weak response from Brown and Merkley.
