Ron Saxton, abruptly canceled a meeting that was scheduled months ago with some Oregon's more low profile prominent African American business owners and professionals. No explanation, just simply a call from one of his staffers at 2:30 p.m. indicating that Saxton would not be in attendance at the meeting that he had previously agreed to.
What the Republican candidate did not know is that aside from the planned 30 minute meeting would follow a group of contributions which included "a very sizable contribution" made by a white individual from Washington County which was withdrawn when they heard the news that Saxton had shunned the group.
