Are our non-partisan, Oregon political entities doing business with push-pollers?

Remember those weird, hateful push-polls conducted in New Hampshire which had an anti-Mormon lean this last November? Well, the New Hampshire Attorney General has found out that the Portland-based polling firm Moore Information is behind the calls. From the press release:

Attorney General Kelly A. Ayotte is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying who employed Moore-Information of Portland, Oregon to conduct a poll in New Hampshire, in November 2007, which has been alleged to be a push-poll. New Hampshire’s voters deserve to know whether any candidate in our Presidential Primary violated New Hampshire’s push-poll statute.

So, who is Moore Information? They're a local firm that represents many groups, from candidates to governments. Here is the link to their client list.

So, who are their clients? Try Gordon Smith, our Republican Senator. How about other corrupt partisan former elected officials like Conrad Burns (MT), Frank Murkowski (AK), Richard Pombo (CA), and Bob Packwood (OR)? And then there are a veritable host of wingnuts, like Ron Paul (TX). And don't forget each of the two Bush/Cheney campaigns and a host of Oregon Republican committees.

Now, that's well and good. If this firm wants to represent GOP clients, then that's their right.

My question is this: what relationship does this company have with Portland, Multnomah County, Tri-Met, Bend, Gresham, "50 public school districts," Oregon's DEQ, and "16 colleges and universities?" They claim each of these entities, along with many more non-partisan entities, as their clients. They say just as much in their expanded client list:

Moore Information has worked with hundreds of city, county, regional, state and federal government agencies to find answers. Our research results have helped government clients make decisions on issues ranging from natural resources and school funding, to land use planning and evaluating public services.

In light of these developments and the revelations by AG Ayotte, I assert that these government groups should seriously question their past, present, and future relationships with Moore Information. To have GOP groups support a push-polling firm is one thing, but non-partisan government entities should have no business with any firm that engages in such a practice. I know I am not comfortable having a push-poller and big-time partisan GOP firm help our governments "make decisions" on such pressing issues for Oregon.

Does anyone know any further details about Moore Information and their past relationships with the above non-partisan entities? Additionally, which "colleges and universities" and "school districts" are they referring to?
