Quote from As I See It by Mary Schamehorn

If you haven't yet turned in your ballot on Bandon's Measure 6-148, I am urging  you to vote yes and get your ballot into
City Hall before 8 p.m. on  Tuesday.

For the life of me I am not sure why anyone would vote against  this, or why the Committee to Keep the Lights on in
Bandon and  CoosCountyWatchdog.com would spend the money to walk through Bandon neighborhoods and hang information on door knobs urging a no vote on the measure.

It seems to be more of a property rights issue than anything else, and that's sad. They also speak of "protecting your final authority,"   "preserving human activity" and "preserving our quality of life."

Frankly, I think the quality of everyone's life would be better if  we didn't have the neighbor's or the City's lights shining into our
backyards  and bedroom windows.

Please vote yes for Measure 6-148 while there is  still time to get your ballot in.

55% of the people disagreed.....

Hey Folks,
The fight for Light is getting heated in Bandon. Please DO NOT forget to Vote NO on Measure 6-148 in the March 12, 2013 Election.   The supporters of this law are getting desperate, which is demonstrated in their letters to the editor.   Below is a link to the Bandon Western World and my fellow watchdogs should be really upset, because they want to leash us, as if they could.   In addition, one writer claims that we all imagined the Bandon  Marsh expansion planned by the USFWS.   Yeah, the people of Coos County just went through a "Dallas" style Dream Sequence.....Rob T. 

Leash The Watchdog---Not bloody likely!..........

March 12, 2013,
Election -
MEASURE 6-148

REFERENDUM ON ORDINANCE 1594 -   OUTDOOR LIGHTING REGULATIONS

  Registered Bandon voters will soon be receiving mail-in ballots for the March 12, 2013, election.  Measure 6-148 has been placed on the ballot as a referendum of Ordinance 1594 for Bandon voters to decide whether the Municipal Code should be
amended to include outdoor lighting regulations.  A copy of Measure 6-148 and a copy of Ordinance 1594 can be found by clicking the links above.
Hey Folks,
The City of Bandon has a link to their new Lighting Ordinance, but the new version of the full text is missing the cover letter mentioning Dave Ledig and the USFWS.  Below are the original files with the original text that is missing on the current document.  What does the city have to hide?.....Why would they be ashamed of their connection with the USFWS?.......

Please, read the law for yourself and decide if you want the city of Bandon in charge of what kind of lighting you can put on your own house, and your property.  Please, Vote no on the Measure 6-148 and Keep the Lights on in Bandon.....Rob T.   

In the file below, there is a letter from The USFWS to the Bandon Planning Commission.  It talks of how The Service is working in coordination with the Bandon Planning Department.  It also demonstrates that not only does The Service want to control the lighting of private citizens, but they also want the city to adopt their entire Comprehensive Conservation Plan as the city’s  Comprehensive Plan.  It was originally title Bandon’s “Master Plan”.
