Sweet, Sweet Irony

Oregon has a special election coming up in just over a month.  This morning a concerned citizen left a flier on my windshield while I was shopping in Fred Meyer.

I wish I had a scanner, but since I don't, I'll just copy it here for you, with the formatting exactly as it was in print:

What The local media

doesn't really want you to

know.

Ballot majors 26-121 and 26-122 will

cost the average property owner

$500.00 more a year in taxes on an

average $250,000.00 house, plus an

extra three percent on top of your

homes value at the end of the year.

Vote yes or no

Also watch for a possible 85 percent increase

on your water bill for the next five years

This affects you, if you are a homeowner or a

renter in Multnomah County.

Be concerned, be very concerned!!!

Oh, trust me, I'm very concerned.

See, ballot "majors" 26-121 and 26-122 are bonds to benefit Portland Public Schools.

And if the author of this flier is a product of Portland Public Schools, then he or she has made a very convincing case.  Although I have a feeling it's not the case he or she was trying to make.

I love the smell of irony in the morning.
