Letter to Editor---Promises in the Dark with the Jordan Cove Project

4/27/2014

Comments

 

From a Lady Watchdog in Fairview:

Dear Editor --
I see in the Saturday, 4-27-14 World, that the cost of the "advance" of our tax dollars by Jordan Cove is going to cost us all 3.65% interest. I had just last week heard that we'd be paying interest at 8% . But how can one know? Nothing is in writing.

I see in the Assessor's pie charts that the distribution, ignoring Urban Renewal, to the county with regular taxation will be 15.82%. However in his pie chart that distributes the proposed Jordan Cove "Community Service Fee", the county only takes 9.25%. That's roughly a 41% reduction to the county, with similar reductions to the other involved taxing districts. And don't forget to subtract the interest payment.

I hear Commissioner John Sweet telling local contractors' workers they'll each be making $80,000 a year when Jordan Cove kicks in. But then why will our local contractors be building that North Bend workers encampment for 2100 out-of-area workers?

And there was the erudite Humanist who was heard to pronounce that if we didn't trust these three peerless, tireless, selfless volunteer leaders, then we needed to look inside ourselves and find out what our trust issues are.

If you want to look inside something to find trust issues, I suggest you look inside Wim DeVriend's book "The Job Messiahs". It is a documented foray into 40 years of public boondoggles, snake oil, and useless wastes of money (yours). This latest scheme may well be the center crown jewel in his opus.
