Touche'!   

One would wonder then,  if that phalanx of mediocre lawyers isn't part of the problem for the State and why they would have a plethora of legal issues to deal with on a daily basis.  Certainly they must have a legion of DHS lawyers to defend that agency,  its employees,  and the State itself from the multitude of foster kid abuses and even deaths.  From screw ups  by ODOT.   For missing and misspent funds (whatever happened to the missing $400 million of CoverOregon,  the $165 million on CRC,  and the ever ongoing Oracle debacle?).   And of course,  mediating the discourse between which State employee or elected official will be handing out raises,  bonus money,  with an almost $2 Billion shortfall in the budget.
