On March 29, Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz admitted to
Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he was facing federal charges for underage-dating aka, trafficking a child. But as squeamish as the revelations are, Gaetz critics may be overreaching in their condemnation. While the age of consent in Florida is 18, a 17-year-old is not a child. (Florida actually has a Romeo and Juliette Law that allows 16-year-olds to have sex with someone no older than 23 years. That won t help Gaetz: he s 38.)
The legal age of consent is 16 in most of the US (including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.) In the Golden State it’s 18.

Whether soothing or invigorating, they’re all worth hearing even after the year they appeared.
With most Oregon music happening on our home screens and speakers rather than stages last year, we’ve been devoting more pixels to recordings than ever. This is the last of several recording roundups explicitly devoted to last year’s Oregon sounds, but our antennae are already a-quiver over some stimulating sounds already emanating from 2021, so stay tuned for more round
