Senators Wyden and Reid Planning 2013 Omnibus Federal Lands Bill

1/31/2013

Comments

 
Hey Folks,
In this message I've listed the links for the reauthorization legislation for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and the committee's that the bills will have to go through.  Then, the Public Land News just released the following article stating what most of us already knew, Wyden is behind the land grabs occuring in the state......Rob T. 

H.R. 263: National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Reauthorization Act of 2013

House Committee on Natural Resources

House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands


S. 51: National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Reauthorization Act of 2013

Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works


Senators Wyden and Reid Planning 2013  Omnibus Federal Lands Bill
Please read this excerpt from Public Lands News  (Jan. 18, 2013):

Conservation legislation at the top of Wyden’s  list

Despite the failure of the last Congress to act on dozens if  not hundreds of conservation bills, new Senate Energy Committee Chairman Ron  Wyden (D-Ore.) intends to tackle the backlog first thing this  year.

“To that end, one of Sen. Wyden’s first priorities will be to  pass the dozens of lands bills left over from last Congress,” said Wyden’s press  assistant Samantha Offerdahl. “As you may know,  Sen. Wyden introduced  several wilderness bills that didn’t move last year,  including proposals to  protect thousands of acres of wilderness land near Devil’s Staircase, Cathedral  Rock, Horse Heaven and Wild Rogue in Oregon.”

As usual the obstacle  last year was the Senate’s filibuster rule.Faced with the press of other  business, such as Hurricane Sandy
relief, Senate leaders did not choose to offer  either an omnibus wildlife bill,  an omnibus lands bill or a combination of the  two on the floor.

 Wyden intends to meet that Senate impasse head  on. “Generally, Sen. Wyden has said that he would like to restore the  Energy and Natural Resources Committee to something resembling the success of  the committee in the past,” said Offerdahl.
“That means routinely passing public  lands bills important to the nation, and moving through the gridlock that halted  the progress of public lands bills many members of the Senate introduced in  previous years.”

House members have already begun reintroducing  park and rec bills this month for the 113th Congress, with a handful of minor  measures in the hopper. For instance Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) introduced a  bill (HR 250) January 15 that would
require Congressional approval of any  national monument designated by a President. Senators will begin introducing  their bills January 22.

Last year the Senate Energy Committee,  under former chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.),  did not get around to going public  with an omnibus lands bill that was expected to include 100 or so individual  bills, although it reportedly assembled a measure. Those individual bills would  have designated new national parks,  designated wild and scenic rivers,  designated wilderness areas, authorized land exchanges and much  more.

A wildlife bill composed of 19 individual measures promoted  by sportsmen effectively expired on the Senate floor Nov. 26,
2012, when Sen.  Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) demanded a procedural vote on the budget impacts of the  bill (S 3525). Sixty votes were needed to keep the bill alive, but only 50  senators voted for it.

Some of the items in the wildlife bill were  also candidates for the omnibus lands bill, if not the whole measure.

All the conservation legislation will have to start over  in this 113th Congress; however, the odds will be slightly more favorable  because Wyden intends to move aggressively on them. In addition Democrats who  tend to support omnibus land bills and omnibus wildlife bills made modest gains  in the November 6 elections.

The Senate Energy Committee had been  taking the lead in assembling an omnibus bill but Senate Democratic leaders did  not give clearance for floor consideration. For its part the House Natural  Resources Committee moved more than 100 land bills through the House floor, only  to see them die in the Senate.

Public Law 107-40

1/30/2013

Comments

 
Picture
January 28, 2013

The local chapter of Americans for Prosperity had the honor of having Coos County Sheriff Craig Zanni as guest speaker at their first meeting of the year.   He was there to dispel the worries generated by President Obama’s unprecedented reach to enact a litany of new gun regulations via Executive Order.  
 
The Sheriff reassured the group that the Officers of his department had sworn an Oath to uphold the US Constitution and protect its citizens from enemies foreign and domestic.  He promised that his officers would never obey unconstitutional laws, but he also added that he did not think any of the new 23 Executive Orders were unlawful, much less unconstitutional.  He promised to watch how they evolved to make sure that their legal status did not change. It was refreshing to hear a Law Officer invoke a patriotic stance, but the question remains, what happens if or when we have a Sheriff or a Sheriff’s Department that does not have any compunction in
seizing the lawful weapons of American citizens?  

Since the fall of The World Trade Towers on September 11, 2001, and the start of the War on Terror, Americans have seen a slow but steady increase in laws that violate the tenants of our basic liberties.   One of the first pieces of legislation to come out after 911 was the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF).  The measure successfully passed both houses of Congress and President George W. Bush signed it into law on September
18, 2001.
 
The legislation became Public Law 107-40 and it has been at the heart of several controversies over the past decade.  Bush cited the AUMF as his administration’s defense in the case of Hamdan v. Rumsfeld.  The US Supreme Court ruled that the administration's military commissions at Guantanamo Bay were not competent tribunals as constituted and therefore illegal.  In another court case, The National Security Agency (NSA) cited the AUMF as a defense for the enhanced surveillance program during the trial of the ACLU v. the NSA.  The Department of Justice advanced the argument that the AUMF implicitly overrode the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which gave the NSA the authority for "Warrantless Wiretapping.”
 
In 2008, the US Congress tried to avert the controversy and legal liability by passing amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978.  On December 9, 2012,  Congress extended FISA with all the provocative provisions of the act intact for five more years, until December 31, 2017.   Specifically, the Law protects telecommunication companies who spied on Americans for the government.  It lowers the standards for spying on Americans by the federal government. It also allows federal agencies to destroy the records of people who have been under the surveillance of the government. Combine these provisions with all the stipulations that were contained in the very unpatriotic Patriot Act and it does not take long to see that the War on Terror is really a War on Civil Liberties.  Since the 911 attack on America soil, The United States has traveled a long way to
unraveling the Rights that were granted by Nature and guaranteed in the US Constitution.  

The War on Terror becomes even more disconcerting when revealing that most Sheriff Offices, including the Coos County’s Sheriff Office, receive some percentage of the department’s budget from the grants provided by the US Federal Government.  Currently, some of these local Law Enforcement Agencies derive up to 80% of their budgets from the funding that these financial mechanisms provide and it is not exactly clear what happens if the Feds leverage this money against the department’s loyalty to the Constitution and the citizens of the county.  Will law enforcement allow themselves to become hostage over the funding needed to run the agencies?

In the past, The Federal Government used the practice of leveraging money against the states.  The Feds threatened to take away Transportation Funding if the individual states did not pass the Seat Belt Law and now all 50 states have enacted these regulations.   What or who is going to stop the Feds from using this type of financial extortion against those who are there for our protection?  
 
The answer is, well, the people.
 
The people of this country have to except their civic duty and become advocates for something bigger than themselves.  The future of our children, and our children’s children, depends on our response to the 
encroachment of the Federal Government.   Our future depends on our vigilance to the trampling of the principles established by our Founders.  We must learn and then strive to be better Americans.  We have to be involved in the process and become participants in our country’s leadership at a level of commitment to make those changes possible or suffer the consequences of our own inaction.  Otherwise, we will get the government
we deserve.

Hey Folks,

Kudo's to Sheriff Zanni for making the Patriot's List.  It's good to have a believer as Sheriff....

225 Sheriffs that are saying NO to Obama's Gun Control .... is Yours on the
List?

Sheriffs have risen up all over our great nation to stand up against the unconstitutional gun control measures being taken.

 The following is a list of sheriffs and state sheriff’s associations from who have vowed to uphold and defend the Constitution against Obama’s unlawful gun control measures.  I applaud these public servants for their courage and conviction.  


I call on sheriffs all over this nation to add their voices to the growing numbers of faithful protectors of our freedom. -Richard Mack

Measures Would keep voters Involved and help control "Economic Fascism"

1/28/2013

Comments

 
Hey Folks,
The following article is great news for Oregon, and it reads like my own experience with the Bandon City Council.  We are starting to win the battle against Government Economic Development or what should be called, "Economic Fascism".  We need your help to get this legislation passed during this legislaive session.  Please, contact your Senators and State Reps and telll them to support Bills that give the voter the control over Urban Renewal debt....Rob T. 

Measures would keep voters involved

Tom Cordier says he was regularly “dismissed and thwarted” by the Albany City Council in his attempts to get officials to take better control of debt spending.


So the Albany resident decided voters should be put in charge of some of the city’s pursestrings.

 And he was galvanized into action when he learned that Clackamas County had passed a measure in 2011 requiring voters to approve new urban renewal plans in unincorporated areas.

Message from a Watchdog in Reedsport:

"Texan Eric Reed, founder and national coordinator of the “Guns Across America” rallies, told WND he’s irritated about all the talk of new gun-control regulations and overreach by the federal government in violation of our Second Amendment rights.

 “I was trying to figure out why people weren’t being  more proactive about this, Reed said. “Then I realized I’m part of the problem.
It takes somebody to stand up and say, ‘Hey, we’re not going to accept this.  We’re against it.’

 “We want Americans who feel the same way to come out.  We want to stand up, be united and get our point across.”

That is the way it is folks! We have this mess  because there is so much disconnect. You cannot just elect people to serve you any more than you can just hire someone and just turn over a job to them. It should not take continuous demonstration to get the job done, but being there or allying yourself with like minded souls always will help. Good elected officials will appreciate your interest. Bad elected officials will be influenced and at
least you will know who the bad ones are!
 
Rights that exist because they are in our Constitution can be changed, but it is not done by Executive Orders or a simple act of Congress. Change for the Constitution is done by amendment and it requires 2/3 approval of each house and approval by 75% of the States. 
   
That said, the topic of the time seems to be "gun control" or is it really people control? Some of us have been working with Oath Keepers and through that several Oregon Sheriffs have taken a stand for the Constitution.
 
We do not have a final agenda yet, but our next AFP/TEA Party gathering will include a presentation  by Oath Keepers and we will try to have Douglas County Sheriff Hanlin on the program too. He is one of the five Oregon Sheriffs who have stepped up to support the Second Amendment of our Constitution.
 
We also hope to have Frank Barth on hand to relate his initial Council experience.
 
The date of the meeting is set for Saturday afternoon, starting at 1:00 PM on February 23rd. The location is not set, but we hope to have that arranged very soon. Mark this date and watch for information that will follow.

Oregon Legislature---Time to ban Government Drones in Oregon

Hey Folks,
I am all for prohibiting government and law enforcement from having the ability to fly Drones overhead, but it should be legal for citizens, as long as they do not violate the privacy of others.  Rob T. 

Oregon Senate: Banning drones in Oregon?
by In the news Thursday,
January 24. 2013
 
Senate Bill 71 helps to restrict and outlaw drones in Oregon with penalties being as much as 20 years in prison and $375,000 in fines.    The bill comes with expectations.   The bill is another Shadow Bill so the author is a mystery.


Is this a civil liberty issue trying to stay ahead of technology or just Oregon lawmakers and political heads wasting time?  You can vote on this high flying issue on the Catalyst poll

Strong investment returns in Oregon's public pension fund still leave $14
billion deficit

 to change Oregon's pension benefits will be argued after the Legislature opens next month.Oregon Blue
BookInvestment returns for Oregon's public pension fund exceeded 14 percent in 2012,  driven by strong returns from stocks and bonds, as well as big markups in the  estimated value of illiquid private equity and real estate holdings. 
   
Gains like that will help recover a little ground on the $16.3 billion  actuarial deficit the system reported at the end of 2011. And the return number  will likely become fodder in the coming debate over reforms to the Public Employee Retirement System when the Oregon Legislature convenes in February. 



PERS unfunded liability down $2 billion

The unfunded liability carried by the Public Employees Retirement System fund shrank by about $2 billion in 2012, according to early estimates based on the year’s 14 percent market earnings.

The unfunded liability has been estimated at $16 billion for the past year, mostly reflecting the losses from the 2008 market
crash when the fund lost $17 billion.

Oregon Supreme Court decided to erode more of the 4th Amendment

Hey Folks,

It looks like the Oregon Supreme Court decided to erode more of the 4th Amendment, but hey, who's counting anyway.....Rob T....

Oregon Supreme Court decision gives leeway to police on searches

A divided Oregon Supreme Court handed down a decision on police searches that satisfies no one, but appears to give more leeway to police.

 At issue was a 2005 decision, also by a divided court, that bars use of incriminating evidence that police obtain after making
an unlawful stop — but the defendant consents to the search that turns up the evidence.

 The court majority decided that it depends on the circumstances, and whether the defendant’s consent was truly voluntary

Oregon Supreme Court OK's police check of license plates

If you drive by police and an officer is running a license-plate check on your car — without you being aware of it — the Oregon Supreme Court has decided that’s OK.

But the public will never know why the  court decided that way, because the justices split in an unusual 3-3 tie earlier this month.
So by default, the court upheld a 2010 Court of Appeals decision that the practice does not violate  state constitutional guarantees against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Because Judge Jack Landau voted in that 2010  decision, handed down three months before he joined the high court, he could not
take part in its review by the Supreme Court the following year.

Minning Legislation from Salem will relate to Coos County...

1/23/2013

From a Minning Watchdog...
HI, 
Many people think I speak and write only for the rights of miners and  dredgers. Please, please read the following and understand that I am trying to  fight for our RIGHTS and FREEDOMS that are ours, not just a privalige, but a  right. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, 2nd ammendment, etc. We all  need to stand together to stop this bill. I don't care if you don't live in  Oregon at this time, you might have lived here or you are hoping to live here.   Contact these congresspeople and tell them to vote NO on this bill. This bill  can and will affect hunting, fishing, camping, picking mushrooms, hiking, day  trips, etc. 

One thing to bring up over that way is that SB 401 will  impose a scenic easement down the Chetco that will extend for 1/4 of a mile on  both sides of the river. Oregon Department of State Lands will become
the  authority inside that 1/4 mile area and will regulate any activity that is not  conducive to the so-called "scenic value" of the river. An explanation is found  in the bill, which reads in part:

"'Scenic easement' (defined)  the right to control the use of related adjacent land, including  airspace above such land, for the purpose of protecting the scenic view  from waters within a scenic waterway; but such
control does not affect,  without the owner's consent, any regular use exercised prior to  the acquisition of the easement, and the landowner retains the right to uses of  the land not specifically restricted by the  easement."

People in Galice live under such an easement and let me  tell you, they are NOT happy. While it may sound
completely reasonable to some  people to live inside such easements, "regular use" constitutes what DSL says it  is and what is "publicly acceptable".

For example, with the declining  economy, more and more people are planting gardens, keeping chickens and  livestock, switching to wood heat. People who live inside of scenic easements  will find that DSL are not
going to be very receptive to land owners building  chicken houses, fencing land, building a toolshed, piling firewood, cutting down  brush to plant a garden, etc.

Much the same way, some people in Galice  have raised the ire of varying agencies for parking an old car or camp trailer  on their property. Some have had trouble performing work on their property,  especially when it involves digging up the property. (Septics, replacing water  pipes, etc.)

Under such scenic easements, what you get is varying  government agencies always imposing their will upon the property owner for the  simple fact that it erodes property rights.

Here over my way, the  easement will go right up the Rogue and right through Grants Pass, Rogue River  and Gold Hill. I can't actually see the river from my place, but I am within  that 1/4 mile.

Needless to say, SB 401 is a very serious  
bill.



OREGON's NEXT?

ODFW---Ice fishing on Diamond Lake

1/23/2013

Comments

 
Things to do in the great outdoors....From the ODFW:

Ice fishing on Diamond Lake – spots still available on Sunday, Feb. 10


 For the first time in decades, Diamond Lake is open to year-round fishing. To help you take advantage of this great winter fishing opportunity, ODFW is hosting an ice-fishing workshop at Diamond Lake Resort on Feb. 9 and 10. There are still spots available on Sunday, Feb. 10. (Sorry, but Saturday’s class is full.) Geared toward the whole family, the workshop is $40 for adults and $10 for children, and includes instruction, use of equipment and lunch. For more details and to register go to the ODFW webpage.

 Look for winter steelhead fishing to pick up

 Low, clear flows have made winter steelhead fishing a challenge in many parts of the state. Look for warmer temperatures and a little rain to put fish on the move and improve the bite. Check the zone reports for some potential hotspots.

 Hunters: Report your deer and elk tags by Jan. 31 to avoid $25 penalty fee!
 You must complete a hunter harvest survey for each deer, elk, pronghorn, cougar, bear and turkey tag purchased--even if you weren’t successful or didn’t go hunting. Report online at www.reportmyhunt.com (or at ODFW’s website under Hunting) or call 1-866-947-6339. Hunters that fail to report 2012 deer and elk tags by the deadline (Jan. 31, 2013 for most hunts) will be fined $25 when they purchase a 2014 hunting
license.



Final week of waterfowl and upland bird hunting
 Celebrate the end of the season with one last hunt. What better way of ending the season than by exploring a new area. Check out the www.oregonhuntingmap.com for ideas. For hunters in zone 1, duck hunting ends Jan. 27. Upland game bird hunting ends Jan. 31 statewide.

SCOTUS refuses to hear “piracy” arguments

SCOTUS refuses to hear “piracy” arguments

Source: Christian Science Monitor "The US Supreme Court on Tuesday let stand a series of lower-court opinions endorsing a broad view of what constitutes the crime of piracy -- a move that will make it significantly easier for the government to prosecute and convict suspected Somali pirates in federal court. The high court turned aside an appeal by five Somali nationals convicted of firing shots from a small skiff at a US
Navy frigate on patrol 600 miles off the coast of Somalia on April 1, 2010. The warship, the USS Nicholas, returned fire and sank the boat. Three men were taken prisoner. Two others were captured on another small boat nearby." (01/22/13)

BOC---PSU report from CC government‏

1/21/2013

Comments

 
From: Jaye Bell
Subject:  PSU report fon CC government‏

It is my observation that an 'administrator' is  not the  real object of the report, but rather is a smoke screen.  It appears implementation of regionalization and profiling are the real objectives, both  being more permanent.and deadly. 
  
For the above reason,. I hope many will see the importance of  attending the workshop Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 in the Owen Bldg.
 
This is our county...  if we can keep it.
 
Jaye

PS You may find the attachment below with an  independent  review of John M Bryson's work, that PSU lauds  so highly, very interesting.
************************************************************************************************************************
   On page 5 of the Portland State University Report on how Coos  County should operate, the report lauds John M Bryson as the  master author.  Wanting to know more about this person I went to the  internet.  The
only place I found John M. Bryson listed was under Amazon  books.  Going to Amazon and locating his book I reviewed the  comments.  It seems most who had to read or teach his book  praised him.  Below is listed the author's background,  and a comment from a  reader who was evidently not associated in either
catagory.  I enclose  this writer's comments because I found the PSU report to be akin to his comments  regarding John M. Bryson's book.........................................   Jaye 
About the Author

John M. Bryson is the McKnight Presidential Professor of  Planning and Public Affairs in the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs  at the University of Minnesota. He is a fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration and in 2011 received the Dwight Waldo Award from the American  Society for Public Administration for "outstanding contributions to the  professional literature of public administration over an extended scholarly  career." He consults widely on strategic management with public, nonprofit, and  business organizations in the United States and abroad.


A Review
 
This textbook is terribly done. There has  been a Harvard project on the same topic that describes the planning process for  nonprofits in three stages - Bryson uses eight. There is also a Herrington Bryce  textbook that has been praised and that is readily
available.

If you are  considering this text for your use, I would strongly recommend one of the  others; if your professor has assigned this, beg him or her to choose another.  This is an overcomplicated repetitive mess of a manifesto on Bryson's  self-important and overcomplicated view of what should be a straightforward  topic. And it is sheer pain to read.

- Bryson is verbose and  overcomplicates everything - He would cite five sources to tell you the sun has  risen, just so you would know that he is well-read . . . he never uses 50 words  when he can use 500 or better yet 1,000. That makes this a really
tough read.  Bryson never heard that brevity is the soul of wit.

- This book is  incredibly repetitive - he seemingly does not have a lot of faith in his reader,  so he says everything five times. His lack of respect for the reader goes so far  as to tell you how to set up a room for a meeting, how to cover use a dry erase  board and easel paper, and just to be helpful he even includes a template of an  oval for you to use in making ovals to post during
your meeting. A blank page in  the book with a black outline of an oval. I wish I were kidding. Bryson doesn't  have a lot of respect for the rest of us.

- He is a terrible writer. His  paragraphs are lengthy and disjointed. His constant citing of sources is  ludicrous. He is one of those
people in the world who can't just say what he has  to say, he has to make everyone think he's smarter than they are. But if he were  somewhat smarter,  he'd have had the insight to make this book actually  readable.

- Bryson seems to be a classic example of a consultant with no  real-world experience. He barely covers leadership, a pretty important topic,  but in addition to his helpful advice on ovals and easel paper, he does discuss  the uses of dishonesty
and selective disclosure in the planning process, but in  such a throw away manner that all you can get is how clever he wants you to  think he is.

- He proselytizes incessantly. Bryson spends a lot of effort  on his view of how one should achieve transcendence (really! - you can't make  this up!) while making numerous and repetitive political statements against  conservatives, corporate interests and a variety of others.

I realize  that most of you will be buying this book because you have to, as it will have  been selected for you by your professor. Beg your professor to choose another  text. There are several much better ones out there. Plead. Do whatever it takes.  This is the
one of the worst books I have ever encountered. It is truly terrible and extremely frustrating.

PERS---Worse than Fuzzy Math: It’s Fictional

1/18/2013

Comments

 
PERS Worse than Fuzzy Math: It’s Fictional
I Spy can now be heard on two different stations at different times! 
 

Listen on Saturday:
11:00 to noon (Pacific time
) on KYKN (1430-AM) or, if you’re
outside of the Salem, OR, listening area, go to
www.kykn.com and hit the "listen live" button.
 
Or on Sunday, 7:00  –  8:00 p.m. (Pacific time) tune to KAJO (1270-AM) or if you’re outside of the Grants Pass, OR, listening area, go to www.kajo.com and hit the listen live button at the top of the page.

Our Guest: Daniel Re, Attorney and Jonathan Williams, Director of Tax and Fiscal Policy for ALEC

This week: If you’ve listened to the I Spy Radio Show, you probably already know that our host, Mark Anderson, has an MBA—that’s a masters in business administration—and that he’s also in the process of picking up his Doctorate in Business Administration.  However, when it comes to PERS (Public Employee Retirement System), you don't need a doctor's degree to recognize when things seem a little fuzzy.  

For example: unless you work for Congress, you intuitively know that completely fictional numbers with no basis in reality, when they're used in accounting, are bad.  But what most people don't know is that this practice routinely occurs in government and that fictional numbers are what currently passes as "funding" for PERS. And not just here in Oregon but in states budgets across the United States.  

Tune in to the I Spy Radio Show to hear just how bad off PERS really is — our guest Daniel Re will walk us through a chronology, step by awful step, of how it got this way.  Then Jonathan Williams of ALEC tells us about the national situation and just how bad the situation really is but he also gives us solutions.  Solutions that, if used, could bring a little reality to state budgets and put them on the track to recovery. 

Have you heard our very popular “I Spy Minute,” aired weekdays at 10:00 a.m. during KYKN’s peak listenership? We’re looking for personal and corporate sponsorships to help keep these educational and informative minutes on the air. Are you a business owner (or know one) that would like “prime real estate” to
advertise? We have two :30 ad spots following the I Spy Minute available, but you need to contact karla@ispyonsalem.com or marcia@ispyonsalem.com to take advantage of these. 

Saturday’s, 11:00 a.m. to noon, (Pacific time).  Listen live on KYKN(1430-AM), or, if you’re outside of
the Salem listening area, just go to
www.kykn.com and hit the listen live button.  


Or Sunday’s, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. (Pacific time). Listen live on KAJO (1270-AM) or, if you’re outside of the
Grants Pass, OR listening area, go to
 www.kajo.com and hit the listen live button at the top of the page.

 Busy on Saturday or Sunday?  Not a problem.  Monday, after the show airs, you can go to our webpage www.ispyradio.com and download it from our “past shows” page.
