I am sure this scam, will top all past, present and future endeavors of a small elite group to dictate and control through non governmental organizing the purse strings of a very large sums of, I quote, exchange of tax dollars for benefits.

We have from the belly of the Beast, a new, big sister and brother of SCDC. South Coast Development Council. A “new”, non governmental organization, same structure, non public disclosures, no public transparency, privately controlled and operated.

I present, the SCCF, South Coast Community Foundation, dedicated to managing, half, of the community service fees offered by Jordan Cove Energy Project.

We’re told we can keep our tax dollars, other wise going to the state coffers, first, by eliminating the tax dollars and exchanging them for fees. To insure their cut, a plan of coercion , extortion and bribery, offered by the controllers of Enterprise Zones, they are the governing municipalities in Coos County. the City Council's, County commissioners, and the port of Coos Bay. those “Fees” or a part of them stay in the County and go to, WHOM? The SCCF.

The fees, after the administrative and management cost of the new scam group, will be apportioned out with in the County to government organizations, and other grant funded organizations. I am sure they will be drawing of the straws to see who gets what.

The players is a list of who’s who, of persons who dedicated their very existence in the betterment of their brothers and sisters, through public service.

Certainly the community would benefit with lower Water and Sewer Cost. Lower electric cost, and low property tax. However few benefit under this plan. First, fees filtered through the SCCF, then municipalities, and Non profit organizations who will first use their funds for administration cost, creating new departments and administrators, and then what is left, may filter to services to a remaining few.

Does the citizens have a say in the outcome of this egg that will be hatched to benefit us all? By proxy, and holding out your hand, maybe some of the residue will fall your way. Proxy is a corporate form of governance, not a representative form of government. Would you like to have a vote on how this bonanza of new revenue will be spent?

The last time the controlling group of the Enterprise Zones grantors, granted benefits it was to the mining company of all times, and for those benefits, and no tax dollars this mining company was to hold up their end, I believe they shut down, not sure of their status right now.

You only have a vote by proxy, and once its done you will be forbidden from any of the information of the inter working of the egg from the belly of the beast.

History will tell you, even though you cannot look at the records, the management style of SCDC, benefited only the players, and the paid administrators of the organization as they wisely spend your tax dollars on themselves, no jobs, Oh, there is that mining company. Looks as though SCDC’s recent bid for a new image and more dollars, has turned into egg hatching and straw drawing.
