Mitch Greenlick does pretty much what his name implies: he's a "Green" licker, and whoever voted him into Oregon office should really reconsider their action. It is Representative Greenlick’s House Bill 2645 which aims to smash all three counties Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas into a single county. His defense was that since they were all under Metro’s regional government control why not just surrender. Rep. Greenlick’s other famous bill so far has been House Bill 2228, which outlaws letting children under 6 from riding in bike trailers. When pressed by the media after he outraged the biking community he admitted that he didn’t bother to look into the issue before creating this bill and wanted to form his idea after people debated on it. For Greenlick, you can actually threaten to take away people’s rights, and then personally benefit from the dialogue that scared citizens offer in defense of their liberty. Representative Greenlick also has a bill (HB 2644) to tax soda pop to discourage people from drinking beverages he does not approve of. Representative Greenlick’s latest outlaw bill is HB 2233. This bill would outlaw citizens from buying cigarettes or cigars without a doctor’s prescription.
Unsurprisingly, the idiot is a Democrat. From Portland. His mantra is typical: I don't like it; let's ban it.
