I totally agree with you about Chris Dudley. He was not very impressive to me during the debate on television. (I thought that Allen Alley had more specific policy suggestions–even though he did work for Kulongoski!) But I will definitely support him in the governor’s race against Kitzhaber (running again!). I hope that Mr. Dudley steps up his game and does consult Cascade. On another note, sorry we missed the open house. Hope to make it next year. Thanks for all that you do.
