This week Tillamook County Sheriff Todd Anderson and Washington County Sheriff Rob Gordon declared their support for Greg in the race for Oregon's next Attorney General....

Poor Mac. He brings out the guns only to have Kroger one-up him with an extra six lawmen. It's wholly appropriate, considering the recent Willamette Week cover.
