PORTLAND, Ore. -- Another official connected to the troubled Cover Oregon health insurance exchange has submitted his resignation.

As first reported by The Oregonian on Thursday, Steve Powell's last day will be June 5th. The state said he has found a new job, but did not release any details.

Powell was the top deputy to Carolyn Lawson, the Chief Information Officer for the Oregon Health Authority and Department of Human Services, who resigned in December.

After Lawson's resignation, Powell replaced her on an interim basis. In April, the state brought back John Koreski, Lawson's predecessor, to take over for Powell. Powell became his deputy.

Powell is the sixth official to resign after being connected to the Cover Oregon issues.

...what will happen nationally after this latest expose' about idle Obamacare workers (Serco) in Missouri and the status of the VA system. A lot of people are saying Obamacare may be like the government-run health care known as the VA. I guess we'll just have to wait and hope for the best.

Flea Bites?!?!Jul 30, 2012
Why all of a sudden am I getting flea bites?  I have had cats for over 16 years and normally every summer about this time, the fleas come.  I treat my fur babies with Advantage, vacuum and wash their bedding, but they go out in the fenced yard and other strays come in, so I know the fleas are a way of life, just try to keep them at bay.  But over the past week or so, I got big, itchy red welts in spots where I come in contact with my cats.  One is on the back of my upper ...

PBS Dust Bowl Series - Nov 19, 2012
One of the things that struck me was the naivete of the people (especially those not directly affected).  When the dust finally got out east, the solutions offered were to "pave the southwest with asphalt" and send all the old junk cars there for wind barriers.  Around here, we will have a very cold day, and people will smirk and say "Sure wish that global warming would come." (or in summer vice-versa).  Many people do not understand the increase in strength of these tornadoes an ...

The New Republicans Go By Bumper Sticker And 10-sec Sound Bites But No FactsOct 27, 2015
These new extremist Republicans don't use facts. They shout, turn red in the face, get angry, and avoid facts, because the facts don't agree with their agenda. If it can't fit on a bumper sticker, the new Republican party can't understand it. If it doesn't fit in a 10-second sound byte on TV, the new Republican party can't deal with it, because they don't deal with thoughtful understanding of the issues. I seriously long for the old Republican statesmen who ...

How about that pharmacist only work for a Religious institution then?  Kansas is a state with many 1 stoplight, 1 pharmacy towns...what on ...

His claims that the Paris agreement would force businesses to lay off workers and consumers to pay higher energy prices were transparently bogus, because a nonbinding agreement wouldn’t force anything. But Trump’s move to abandon it will have a huge impact on the global community’s view of America, and of a president who would rather troll the free world than lead it. joining only Syria and Nicaragua (which wanted an even greener deal) in refusing to help the community of nations addres ...

Excuse me, but this just totally gets my girdle in a pinch.,, My upstairs neighbor is on welfare... but does not need to be and totally abuses this. She worked prior to getting pregnant, as did her husband. When she got pregnant, she had him quit his job at a local hospital, where he had full benefits, to work under the table (to hold her hand, and he is making 3x the money he did). Her parents now pay the rent and other expenses. She had the baby 8 MONTHS AGO. She is still collecting welfare. ...

Who Makes Minimum Wage?Oct 29, 2014
Who makes minimum wage? Apparently not just your average fast food worker. The average age of a minimum wage worker is 35, not the teenager the Republicans are so afraid will raise the cost of their hamburgers.  54% of minimum wage workers labor at a full time job.  Not the teenager who works for a couple of hours after school.  27% of minimum wage workers support children.  Well, I am not sure if that is the teenager working down at the fast food joint--that probably dep ...

Dirt is the name of the game and no one's better at it than the Democrats. So if we're going to have investigations into "meetings", I say FINE.  Let's have them up and down the political spectrum, and on both sides of the aisle. No one gets a pass, including Hillary. ...
