REP. KRUSE AND REP. DOYLE  ANNOUNCE BUDGET PLAN State Representative Jeff Kruse (R-Sutherlin) and State Representative Dan Doyle (R-Salem) today announced their alternative to the Governor¹s disingenuous, 20% across-the-board cut to the state budget. The "Kruse-Doyle plan" will balance the state budget with over $500 million in cuts to non-essential government services. It does not require any new or increased tax revenues.   (Headline links to August 28 press release from Watchdog.com) Lies, budget lies and videotape   (An Oregon Magazine essay.)      Articles, fiction and poetry: Was there a Garden of Eden?
