Cities around the United States do not have land use planning like we have in Oregon, and they are all struggling with issues like affordable housing.

Tackling affordable housing via land use planning won't necessarily solve the problem.

It's absolutely critical that we not only provide support from cradle to career in the education system but also the wraparound services.

We want our students to graduate from high school, but we want them to graduate with a plan, whether it's college or career.

My father's family were Italian ice cream men, and the knowledge was passed on, so I ran an ice cream van while I was dating my wife.

The thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another.

Before, back in the '50s, women didn't have as many rights as men, so they had to be that stay-at-home wife and take care of the kids all day. But now, with marriage, it's a partnership. It's not like this old traditional marriage that it once was.

I am not a father who wants to give his kids everything. They have to earn it.
