Lawmaker ‘forgets’ to disclose free trip to Israel

How do you 'forget' a seven-day, $4000, paid trip to Israel?

Simple. You don't.

You just say you did - if you're likely to get caught.

Oregon Speaker Karen Minnis said Tuesday she did not report that a private group paid $4,000 to send her to Israel last year, making her the latest lawmaker to get caught up in a controversy over legislative junkets.

The Wood Village Republican, who’s in the midst of a heated re-election battle, said the omission was unintentional.

(or maybe something happened on that trip that they would like to forget):

1. great - she is a real piece of work

getting her out of Salem would be wonderful - she is a tool for out-of-state corporations who want Oregon to be their private banana republic - rip off the natural resources but contribute nothing to education, etc.
