    A SCENE WE’D LIKE TO SEE REPEATED - PAI via ILCA
    Sizemore has set up sham organizations, illegally paid for fake signatures and perpetrated numerous other frauds, all part of his vitriolic anti-worker hatred. Well, he went too far several times and Oregon’s two teachers’ unions, which with the rest of labor battled Sizemore’s brainstorms, won judgments against him, which he’s evaded.

    A Multnomah County (Portland) judge had finally had it with Sizemore’s stalling and sentenced him to jail for contempt. He spent overnight in the slammer. Though Sizemore was sprung after only a day, he now faces more than $3 million in penalties.
