Era el mism\u00edsimo nuevo senador de Oreg\u00f3n. Eso es inusual, y est\u00e1 lejos de ser un evento cotidiano por aqu\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p>Me sorprendi\u00f3 especialmente porque el senador estaba programado para estar en Roseburg dentro de unos d\u00edas para una reuni\u00f3n en el ayuntamiento. Supuse que cualquier contacto con los medios tendr\u00eda lugar entonces.<\/p>\n<p>Pero Merkley me llamaba para informarme antes de la reuni\u00f3n sobre las asignaciones de su comit\u00e9 y el proyecto de ley de est\u00edmulo econ\u00f3mico que acababa de aprobar el Senado. Pasamos casi 30 minutos hablando por tel\u00e9fono. Parec\u00eda estar siguiendo un gui\u00f3n de puntos principales a tratar, pero mantuvo la conversaci\u00f3n y me dio la oportunidad de hacer preguntas. Hablamos hasta que lleg\u00f3 unos minutos tarde a su pr\u00f3xima reuni\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Aunque hab\u00eda sido una buena entrevista, todav\u00eda quer\u00eda asistir a la reuni\u00f3n del ayuntamiento de Merkley el martes pasado para ver qui\u00e9nes asist\u00edan, qu\u00e9 tipo de preguntas har\u00edan y c\u00f3mo las responder\u00eda el senador.<\/p>\n<p>Admito que hab\u00eda sido esc\u00e9ptico de Merkley durante su campa\u00f1a senatorial. Parec\u00eda sospechoso que alguien que no hab\u00eda vivido en el condado de Douglas desde la escuela primaria de repente sacara a relucir el personaje de &quot;hijo de un constructor de molinos y nacido en Myrtle Creek&quot;. Algunos de mis amigos del sur del condado se rascaban la cabeza pregunt\u00e1ndose si su educaci\u00f3n rural se hab\u00eda vuelto genial. \u00bfO este tipo solo estaba tratando de sacar una s\u00e1bana ligeramente conservadora sobre sus filosof\u00edas liberales de Portland?<\/p>\n<p>De pie frente a un atril en el Museo del Condado de Douglas el martes pasado, Merkley parec\u00eda bastante sincero al celebrar el hecho de que el Dairy Queen todav\u00eda est\u00e1 en el mismo lugar en Myrtle Creek mientras lamentaba la p\u00e9rdida del A&amp;W en Roseburg. Tambi\u00e9n record\u00f3 subirse a la locomotora en Stewart Park cuando asist\u00eda a primer grado en Roseburg.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed que tiene recuerdos de sus d\u00edas en el condado de Douglas, y realmente parece verse a s\u00ed mismo como un hijo del sur de Oreg\u00f3n. Cuando comenz\u00f3 la reuni\u00f3n del ayuntamiento, se\u00f1al\u00f3 que han pasado 50 a\u00f1os desde que alguien del sur de Oreg\u00f3n sirvi\u00f3 en el Congreso.<\/p>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n estaba cumpliendo una promesa de campa\u00f1a con su aparici\u00f3n local. Nuestro propio reportero de gobierno y pol\u00edtica desde hace mucho tiempo, John Sowell, desafi\u00f3 a Merkley a celebrar su primera reuni\u00f3n en el ayuntamiento en el condado de Douglas. Merkley cumpli\u00f3 e incluso complaci\u00f3 a Sowell firmando la puerta \u201cizquierda\u201d del aparador del reportero, un desecho de los muebles del Capitolio estatal que hab\u00eda sido un problema en los anuncios de campa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n<p>La audiencia del ayuntamiento plante\u00f3 una variedad de preguntas y sugerencias en Merkley, incluida la necesidad de trazar un mapa de la costa de Oreg\u00f3n, brindar ayuda a los pescadores comerciales de salm\u00f3n y exigir que el gobierno contrate a personas que cortan madera para incendios forestales que tengan seguro de compensaci\u00f3n para trabajadores. La lucha contra el calentamiento global, la pobreza mundial y el SIDA, y el alto costo de la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica fueron otros temas que surgieron.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.nrtoday.com\/article\/20090222\/EDITORIALS\/902209875\/1058\/rss');\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Leer m\u00e1s -&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine my surprise when I answered the telephone on my desk and heard, &ldquo;Vicki, this is Senator Jeff Merkley.&rdquo; There had been no staff member on the phone first, telling me Merkley would be coming on the line.
