Letter to Editor---WHY DID THE CHARTER BALLOT MEASURE 6-143 NOT PASS?

11/28/2012

Dear Editor,

 WHY DID THE CHARTER  BALLOT MEASURE 6-143 NOT PASS? 

Was it because it  requires open advertised bids, and opening bids publicly, on county projects so
  anyone qualified can bid? 

Because it requires  the maintenance of our buildings and equipment?(Think Beaver Hill incinerators. ) 

Because it requires  the Board of Commissioners ( BOC ) to inform citizens on issues and
allow  citizens time to comment at public meetings? 

Because it requires  the BOC to keep citizens informed of the Board's transactions by citizens  voting on all large financial actions; selling and buying of assets and land;  the giving away of public monies/assets? 

Because it legally  requires the commissioners obey their oath of office? 
 
Because it requires  citizens vote when a commissioner seat needs to be filled? 

Because it requires  citizens’ property and individual rights be protected as under both the US  Constitution/ Bill of Rights and the Oregon Constitution/ Bill of  Rights? 

Because it requires  citizens decide, by voting, if they want their monies used for specific Urban  Renewal/Enterprise projects? 

Because it requires  'planning' with sales/purchasing of county property by giving guidelines for  bulk selling and buying of every day items? 

Because it requires  major indebtedness be approved by the people?( Note: ten $100,000 expenditures turn  quickly into a million $) 

Because it recognizes many people in this county have a wealth of information and the BOC should allow them time to speak at meetings? 

Because many newspapers, present commissioners, past commissioners and 'important' people, (who had either never read the Charter or had conflicts with their personal interests) stated untrue generalities, not specifics, and thereby condemned it? 

Because the BOC, in  my opinion, committed malfeasance of office and voter fraud by not providing the  citizens of Coos County with the text of both 6-143 and 6-144?With 6-143 only the District Attorney's  brief (accurate )
ballot title was presented to the citizens. With 6-144 the  authors ( Messerle, Parry, counsel Soper ) presented only a ballot title which  was totally inadequate to telling the truthful details. ARRRG was early led to  believe the
text would be in the voter pamphlet, however, the BOC did not  contract with the state to do so, nor did the county publish one of it's  own. 

I personally thank  6,520 people who saw through the opposition’s smoke and mirrors and voted for  'Voice of the Voters' Coos County 2012 Charter measure 6-143.
