News Bulletin: Terms Accepted

We interrupt this week of transit follies to announce that DanS and the Antiplanner have agreed on the terms for a bet regarding measure 37.

Those who read the comments to a post about Oregon’s ballot measure 37 will remember that DanS predicted that measure 37 “will be repealed in the 2008 election or a special election in 2009.” Then, in a comment on a later post, he offered to buy the Antiplanner dinner if the ballot measure is not repealed by April 30, 2009.

After some intense negotiations (well, a couple of emails), we agreed on the following terms:

However, the most common adverse effects produces by the medicine can be allergenic super viagra uk like swelling of lips, face and tongue, problem in breathing, chest pain, irregular heartbeats, seizure or cold symptoms. The true ecstasy of the married and sex life can never be had if one is unable to obtain and sustain an erection even after view over here cialis tadalafil 5mg proper sexual stimulation. Studies show that sperm concentration tadalafil 5mg tablets in smokers is reduced. Add to that the generic viagra canada poor lifestyle habits are putting quite a lot of pressure on us. 1. If, by the end 2009, measure 37 is repealed by the legislature or a vote of the people, the Antiplanner will owe DanS a dinner. If it is not repealed, DanS will owe the Antiplanner a dinner.

2. “Repeal” means no one can make a claim for any past, current, or future land-use rules that reduced the value of their property, retroactive to claims that have already been made but not approved. Any mere modification of the law, such as an amendment that allows some landowners to make claims but not others (such as individuals vs. corporations) or allows some claims but not others (such as allowing people to subdivide their land in three or four parcels but not scores of parcels) does not qualify as a “repeal.”

3. The bet will be settled on DanS’s first visit to Oregon, or whatever state the Antiplanner happens to be living in, after December 31, 2009 (or, optionally, the Antiplanner’s next visit to whatever urban area DanS happens to be living in).

I am certain that everyone can hardly wait to find out who wins this bet, not to mention what fine restaurant we will manage to find in whatever remote part of the USA the Antiplanner happens to be living in when the time for payment arrives. Expect a full report in about two years or so!

    I tried to negotiate that Randal live in a place worthy of stopping while on a bike tour, but alas, to no avail…

    Dan, he bikes into Portland from his home, so what’s the problem?

    Thanks

    He wouldn’t guarantee that he would be on the OR coast, the scoundrel. It’s been at least ten year since I’ve ridden that coast.

    Like, what if he moves to SoDak or East BFE or somewhere like that (unlikely, but still…)?

    ;o)

    Antiplanner, if you’re considering a move, the Free State Project and the NH Underground are doing well AND doing good in New Hampshire.

    JK: Kind of reminds me of my hunch that Oregon is the envoro-whackos green state project (or red state, or wild-lands project) after seeing that the eastern enviro community was the second biggest campaign $ contributor against M37. Right after a vineyard, that presumably, wanted to keep the city riff raft out of their millionaire preserve, while bankrupting Portland with smart growth.

    Thanks
