The Tea Partyer
August 22, 2012
Hello,
We had a silent victory here today in Coos County. The Board of Commissioners unanimously passed the 2nd reading of the Urban Renewal amendment, which gives the people the chance to vote on any substantial changes to the county’s UR agency. It is officially a law, taking effect 90 days from today’s date. The voters have taken back control over a rouge agency and we did it through the Representative process, the way it is suppose to work.
I want to Thank Dave Hunnicutt from Oregonians in Action, for his legal expertise and Randall O’Toole for his well thought out arguments against Tax Increment Financing. Without them it would have been impossible to accomplish this task. It has taken a considerable amount of effort to get this enacted and it is going to take even more to introduce and pass this type of legislation in Salem.
We are hoping to find several State Representatives and Senators to sponsor the bill.
Here is a link to the Coos County’s BOC’s agenda with the wording of the amendment on the very last page.

Oregon’s Urban Renewal Agency’s are going to bankrupt our cities and counties while draining the state coffers with the cost of backfill replacement for the schools. It would be smart to work in unison.
Sincerely,
Rob Taylor
