I haven't seen it mentioned around the ORBlog scene yet, but I thought it was interesting to see Willamette Week's cover story this morning, "Meet the OUTLAWS". It is a really good series of stories talking about the same-sex marriage controversy, but unfortunately, the paper likely went to press just before the story broke. So you have a well written feature on same-sex marriage, with no mention of today's big news. Whoops!

Apparently they asked County Attorney Sowle if she had looked into the issue on Monday, March 1st and she gave them a bit of a non-answer.
"Asked if she had looked into the legality of same-sex marriages, Sowle replies, 'If somebody came in today, I'd say I don't have an opinion' and adds that 'I don't think there will be a policy decision until I look into it.' (These statements lead WW to report in its March 3 issue that Sowle said she hadn't yet looked into the issue.)"
