Bill Sizemore isn’t the potent political force in Oregon he once was, but the teachers’ union is still after him. It smacks of retribution. In the 1990s Sizemore sponsored initiatives to limit public spending, and the Oregon Education Association and another union went to court to fight him with a lawsuit charging racketeering. In 2002 they won a $2.5 million judgment against his political organization, Oregon Taxpayers United. More recently they also won a court order for attorney fees in another case. Now they’ve sued him again, charging that he was getting money indirectly and hiding assets in his wife’s name.
