The past five months the Mayor of Bandon, Mary Schamehorn, was speaking on countlessly
expensive radio ads for Commissioner John Sweet's reelection campaign claiming that he had fixed the mosquito problem. Many in the community know that is a blatent lie and they should not be allowed to continue to commit this fraud on the public.
Monday, December 8 at 7:00 pm in the Bandon City Hall, the Chair of the Mosquito Committee will be presenting a report on the problem and we need to be there to make sure there is no spin on the issue. Please attend the meeting and speak up for yourself. We know several property owners did suffer from mosquitoes and it is a problem that will continue, as long as the USFWS is allowed to expand their efforts to flood the valley as a tactic to create more "willing sellers."
Remember, the Bandon Marsh expansion was only "temporarily suspended" and the Service is looking for anyway to lift that suspension and what better way than having a sitting commissioner and mayor claim the mosquito problem is fixed. Why is Sweet and Schamehorn capitulating with the agency that caused the infestation in the first place? What do they have to gain in their positions?......Rob T.
