Here is a link for the text of the proposed bill. Did you follow the link from the World to Pete's web page. He has a video about O&C he says we are on board with it. He takes the control out of the county and puts it under control of the Forest Service and stakeholders. lol You might ask Becky if she will look at it. The friend of Don Chance who help with the Bandon Marsh. http://defazio.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=759&Itemid=138 Thanks Tressa COQUILLE -- Accusations of Nazism flew in the county courthouse on Tuesday, after a change in format to county commissioner meetings. A small group of meeting stalwarts protested after Chairman Fred Messerle moved 'public comments" from the end of the meeting -- its traditional position -- to the beginning. The change includes a roughly three-minute limit for each speaker, which Messerle said was common among Oregon counties. The decision follows two recent meetings that ran roughly five hours, largely due to heightened public attendance. The influx of participation is largely a result of discussion items on controversial issues, like the Bandon Marsh expansion, and the attendance of commissioner candidates, who are stumping before May's primary election. Phil Thompson, a camera operator for public-access television, opposed the changes because people could no longer give their opinions after the day's decisions. He said the move had overtones of Nazi -style suppression of free speech. Ronnie Herne of Fairview called the decisions 'anti-public." She thought it would hurt Messerle in the forthcoming primary election. 'If there's a lesson to be learned from Hitler," Herne said. 'The lesson is you don't do it weeks before your primary, you do it after your election." Rob Taylor of Bandon, addressing Herne and others, said as long as citizens could comment, he didn't mind whether the public was allowed to comment at the beginning, middle, or end of a meeting. 'I certainly don't think this rises to the standard of calling anybody Hitler, stormtroopers, or Nazis," Taylor said. Mary Geddry, a blogger and meeting regular, said she didn't mind the change as long as the public could still comment on agenda items that required a vote from the commissioners. Commissioner Cam Parry said he thought the change was sensible because it allowed people to raise issues at the beginning of the meeting that could be discussed further by the commissioners. Commissioner Bob Main, who was chairman before Messerle took the reins this year, said he saw no problems with the previous format.

Brace yourself. In a mere 271 days, you and your fellow Americans will be hit with a tax hike the likes of which this country has never seen. The Washington Post aptly called the unprecedented $494 billion tax hike “Taxmageddon,” and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke described it as a “massive fiscal cliff.” Whatever your preferred imagery, it’s a really big deal. Despite all the warnings, President Barack Obama has kept his silence while Congress has made no apparent effort to prevent this impending calamity to families and the economy. The prevailing wisdom is that “something will get done” in a lame duck session of Congress after the election. But why wait? And why after the election? Here’s why you should be worried. For starters, remember that this is the same President who in 2009 promised, “if your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime.” That’s a vow he’s broken, and in 2013, things are going to get even worse if this year Obama doesn’t lead and Congress doesn’t act. Katy, bar the door, there’s big trouble in store. Statewide Tax Day Tea Party Events:
