"When I envision a mob that is being fed bad informationbut local leaders know it's bad information... but it's popular so they decide not to speak upand then the local leaders see how strong the mob is, and they're afraid of it," Merkley said. "And then the mob starts to move toward some objectiveso many people believe that something has gone wrong. The position should have been correcting the lies and conspiracy."

It's good to see Jeff finally acknowledging the truth about the death, destruction, and danger caused by the "mobs" in Portland and other cities across the country!

Hopefully he'll continue to use his position to encourage other state and local "leaders" to begin to seek and speak the truth!

@WhereIsWaldo - if buyers are really concerned about a home's energy score, they are free to have an evaluation done as part of their home inspection. Included as a standard clause in the Oregon Residential Sale and Purchase Agreement is the following: "At Buyer's expense, Buyer may have the Property and all elements and systems thereof
inspected by one or more licensed professionals of Buyer's choice."

Furthermore, a home buyer may notify a home seller of the buyer's unconditional disapproval of the property based on any inspection report, terminate the transaction, and have their earnest money refunded.

Conversely, a home seller may elect to have a HES evaluation done and provide the results as part of the marketing of the property.

So one has to wonder why the push to make HES evaluations mandatory.
