Berkman said lie plans lo run
a straightforward campaign
based on the issues people are
most interested in. which he
said include the economy,
crime, public safety and educa
tion.
He said he believed many
people were tired of the rhetoric:
surrounding issues like gay
rights and abortion but added
that he did not believe in dis
criminating against anyone.
Berkman said the "common
thread" through all the issues
facing tljt» state is the budget.
I'he reality is we re going to
have to do less with less he
said We re going to have to do
some r uts
Although Berkman said hu
had no simple answer to Ore
gon's crime problem, he favors
trying juveniles as adults when
they commit violent crimes.
"Most people don't want to
talk a lot about personal respon
sibility. but it is." he said
Me said the criminal justice
system, as it stands, is a band
aid measure and that to decrease
crime, society needs to "invest
more in our children at an earli
er age."

Oregonians would
be willing to pay a
