I am proud to say that I live in Salem, Oregon about a 20 minute drive from Silverton. Although I have never meet Stu Rasmussen beside the occasional bigot’s remarks I have never heard anything bad about Mayor-Elect Stu Rasmussen. He really does seem like he just wants the best for his home town.
History Lesson: It is amazing what a few decades can do to a town. Back in the 50’s and before, Silverton was the home base for the KKK of all of Oregon, but they were also one of the largest Northern hubs for their organization. Now, they are seen as one of, if not the most liberal small town in America.
