CCAP (Coos County Alliance for Progress) co-founder John Knutson has contributed $2,000 from his towboat company to incumbent John Sweet’s reelection campaign. Knutson Towboat, if you recall, was the prime beneficiary of a controversial “towboat bill” that effectively put Captain Charlie Yates out of business. The CCAP contributed $5,000 to the Hillsboro state senator, one Bruce Starr, who introduced the towboat provision into a bill that later passed the legislature. Sweet has publicly expressed his support for the Jordan Cove LNG export terminal and the CEP (Community Enhancement Plan) which stand to concentrate future property tax revenue funding on the waterfront at the expense of the county. Expect more contributions from the usual suspects that haunt the Bay Area.
On another note, Sweet and challenger Don Gurney have agreed to participate in the first ever Yāhoo Candidate Forum to be held on October 6, beginning at 7PM at the Coquille Community Center – Small Auditorium. The forum is hosted by the Yāhoos of Coos County and everyone is welcome. Questions will submitted from the audience. Forum rules for both attendants and candidates will be posted in the near future.
