Mayor of Bandon Mad at the Bandon Men Who Listen to Hate Radio

As I See It
by Mary Schamehorn

Picture
Although I don't listen to "hate radio," I understand that I am often mentioned on the Jim Bice radio show, which seems to be a favorite of several Bandon men, and my name often comes up (and not in a particularly positive vein).

A lot of the animosity stems from a radio spot I cut for my long-time friend John Sweet, which I think I already told you was written by his campaign committee. It basically used the word "fixed" when referring to the mosquito problem.

Frankly, I don't know what you would call the fact that two summers ago we received scads of calls about mosquitoes; last summer, neither anyone at City Hall nor I received a single complaint.

Yes, there are still mosquitoes around (not at my house) and it will be a long-term effort to make sure they never return in the levels that they were for the summer of 2013, but I can only say that John Sweet worked tirelessly to help us, but that is just one of the reasons that I supported him for county commissioner.

He is a caring, decent, human-being with the manners, diplomacy and tact of a true gentleman... and I understand that may be hard for some people to grasp.

John sent me an email that he received from a Coos Bay man (after his vote on the gun rights issue), which is so far beyond vile that I am embarrassed to even read it to people ... and certainly would not put it in print.

I'm sure if you tune into "hate radio" you'll find it . . . or similar sentiments (and now probably more of them will be directed at me).

It's one thing to disagree with a decision . . . but this was totally over the top.

Whatever happened to civility?
